Ok guys, so this may be a stupid question, but I am hoping that someone on here has had this same problem and can help me. I converted the front brakes on my 67 to single piston disc, and so far most of the parts have been a nice bolt on. My latest issue (aside from the front flex hoses that was solved!!) is the large proportioning valve for this kit. When I bolt it to the bracket as per the instructions (driver's side of the bracket) it does not clear the inner fender well on the driver's side. I will try to include some pics. I hope that I am not the first person to have this problem.... Is there an easier solution that fabbing a new bracket, lines ect... Its killing me that the car is still on jack-stands and the summer is flying by!

1) I bolted the PV bracket to the passenger side bolt so that the bracket was on that side - not the inner fender side
2) I bolted my valve to the bracket so that it sits under the MC and is "flat". i.e., the wide section of the valve is horizontal NOT vertical like you show.

I bet you will find the lines might line up better this way. Mine did except for the rear line which comes all the way out to the front port I added a union and an extention of new line.

If you would reduce the pictures about 10 times, I could see what's going on. Short-term memory loss, dont'cha know; by the time a scroll across the picture, I forget what I was thinking!
I have the same exact set-up, but with the booster installed, puts the valve up and forward of your position. In short, add a booster...you won't regret it
Took Salmon38's advice and modified my mounting bracket to go underneath the master. The passenger hardline bolted right up! I have now mocked up the master to valve lines, and the rear hardline extension using wire, and I bolted the bracket to a stud just under the master. Looks like I'm finally back on track to get this thing wrapped up. Thanks guys for all the info.
