Cool brake Portioning valve
my brake Portioning vlave is leaking, According to NAPA they cannot sell any of these valves since it is a liabity issue. WTF??!!!! i mean i can understand a used one but a new one? Autozone does not and cannot order these along with checker,oriley atuo parts. so where can i get this part other than the Stealership( assuming that they have it)?

I don't get the liability issue. They sell calipers, wheel cylinders, drums, rotors and everything else related to the brake system. Why would the proportioning valve be a liability issue?
Also, Inline tube sells them, LMC too.

I see you already bought one, but the salvage yard is also a great place to get these!

Post some pictures when you get the JBG part installed!

Looks pretty messy, hard to tell where it's actually leaking from.

It's cheap insurance and they are your brakes after all.

If it's leaking at the warning light switch (common problem), you can replace just the switch. These are available from LMC, NPD, etc. If I'm not mistaken, they are still available from Ford.
Altough, looking closer at the pictures, it looks like it might be leaking at the pin.
