Parking Brake Valve Completed

Pictured here is the new parking brake valve commonly referred to as a 'push/pull valve'.  Shown also is the new fittings and DOT air lines.  You can only see two but three are involved.  The old copper lines made the task of removing and reinstalling the brake valve much more difficult than it needed to be.  The lines run down through the floor under the driver into the compartment below.  That area is more open to the weather and the lines were somewhat corroded and in bad shape.  Having all of this changed out makes for a better installation and this is one problem I should not have to revisit in the future.
