Putting some brakes back on the van this weekend but have been stumped with the brake bias valve fitting direction - bolted to the inner chassis behind the beam and close to the cross member. I've forgot to get a pic but its a late 72, late bay and the bias valve has got no obvious markings for what inlet/outlet goes to the rear brakes. there's a VW stamp on one side and few numbers elsewhere but no directional arrows which I would half expect. The valve can be bolted onto the chassis either way round, I just don't want to have to fit it and bleed the brakes twice if I can help it. Anyone?
Thanks, Mine is identical, and has the VW stamp on the right, I'm going to assume the one pictured is piped the same way as a bay, as thats a T25?, in that the right outlet goes off to the rear brakes. edit...see post below.
in the original post the guy was saying that they used the same compensator...have a read...see what you reckon http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=351235
Was close, just difficult to tell what direction the front of the van is from the T25 pic, unless you know your T25s! Feels like I've conceded defeat - I've just read what the Bentley manual has to say! Its bloody handy that manual! So for reference for anyone else who needs it:
