TR2/3/3A Brake system question -

[TR3-Stu]

Ok, I'm starting to feel like an idiot. I was in the process of trying to bleed my new TR3 brake system (new lines, etc), and I wasn't having any success. I traced the problem back to the restrictor valve. Nothing was getting past the valve. Now I should know better, but I just reinstalled the original restrictor valve on the new brake line system. Big mistake. After I pulled it apart, it was completely corroded, and thus far, I have not been able to find anyone who is currently selling new restrictor valves. With so many knowledgeable TR owners in this forum, I know someone; 1. knows what the restrictor valve does; and 2. has a way forward.
Thanks in advance,
Stu

My apologies - I was tired and frustrated when I posted this question, and didn't do adequate research into previous posts on restrictor valves. After checking - I found plenty of information and an answer to my problem. Again, this forum is extremely helpful and I value it.
Thanks,
Stu

I guess you learned that many remove the innards of the valve to reduce brake drag & dust.

Yes remove the inner parts and reduce potential for future issues.
and fully appreciate the frustrations. I know I get to that point sometimes.
