Dick, I like the screw in/out knob type rather than the lever type that 
seems to have limited adjustability. I still use the old Kelsey Hayes that was 
stock on various Corvettes and (I think) disc brake Mustangs, Ford/SVO sold 
them too.   Works fine 30 yrs later. Jegs, Summit and other speed shops sold 
them as well. I think most Mustang shops sell them. Wilwood has a smaller 
version that apparently works well. You will need to make new SAE flair 
fittings to replace the Euro bubble flairs, as none fit ISO flairs on European 
plumbed cars. It need NOT be accessible from the drivers seat, either- that 
only leads to incessant fiddling. Find a setting that doesn't allow the rears 
to lock up on wet pavement and you're done. Good luck- J DeRyke
