To the guys that did the rear disc swap, anyone have a left over proportioning valve from a ZJ? I bought one online and only got the little red piece. Never heard from the guy again.

i installed a setup similar to the repeater rig posted on here before, but i did a slight modification, a friend of mine helped me build a DC-DC converter to take the 13.3VDC down to 12.0VDC @ 2.2Amps for the routers via a pair of 7812 power regulators, i'll get some pics after the sun comes out today, and i'll also get some pics of my strobes edit:-> here are the pics as promised
