[DeTomaso] GT5S Brakes

[Ian H]

Ok, so my buddy with the GT5S, ordered and got his EBC brake pads and they fit like a charm.  Now he noticed that he is leaking fluid out of the shuttle valve and he says he sees a crack right where the stop light switch screws into it.  Checking the parts catalog he sees that the GT5S valve has a different part # than a Ford era Pantera.  He has called most of the vendors and so far can not find one for a GT5S.

So, the questions are: Is there a difference between the two shuttle valves?  And, does anyone out there happen to have one of them laying around?

If we can't find one, I told him that we can re-plumb the system like I did on mine and get rid of the shuttle valve and stock prop valve and install a regular T- block and an adjustable prop valve.  He would like to stick with what was original to the car though, so now the search begins!

I am off to the garage to see if I saved my old shuttle valve off my 74 L.  I am pretty sure that I gave it away to someone though.

Thanks,

Ian
