Proportioning brake valve mount issues

[Bee’s Knees]

Hey everyone.
Has anyone one had clearance issues with mounting the proportioning valve off the master cylinder? It’s on our 69 383 bee. We went with Wilwood MC and valve but there is not enough clearance to mount it on either side of the MC with the bracket that came with the kit. Has anyone figured a different location that is accessible and does not look terrible? Thanks.

Couldn't you rotate the bracket 180 degrees to above the master cylinder, and put the ear for the proportioning valve to the outside away from the master cylinder and ex manifold?

Originally, that’s the way we wanted to mount it on, but we also had clearance issues with inner wheel wells; couldn’t even bolt on the Prop Valve to bracket on that side.

Maybe make a "riser" bracket that will attach where the valve is now, but raises the position of it by a few inches.

I’d fabricate a new bracket to mount the valve underneath the MC or to mount it to the frame. My valve is mounted to the top of the frame on my 65. I sure wouldn’t mount it over the exhaust manifold, and I don’t think you can mount it higher than the MC. And if you have room I’d change the outlets to the outside of the MC, don’t like to see brake lines anywhere close to the exhaust system.

i'm installing same set up . Where did you end up mounting the prop valve? i'm going to have to do same thing ... they gave me a left side bracket. and no way does it fit on the left side ... waah waah

i might order the R/ H bracket , unless there is a better solution.
