seem to remember merlin saying he used 5th gen one on his 4th gen track lude as it gave 12 percent more stopping power
check with him first but prob 5th gen one is best for you

indeed
just check with him first as it has been many years since we worked on his track lude but i definately remember swapping out the brake servo and mc

Had a quick look at his lude profile and it was a 4th gen with ABS servo and mc he swapped in - his lude was originally non abs. you already have abs mc in place so want to keep it or get the same if it needs replaced. Non abs mc is 15/16" whereas the abs mc is 1" and that is where the 12% figure comes from

hope this info is of use

You'll have to rework the lines locally at the valve.
You can just see it at the back of the engine bay here on the right:
That's it really.

ah ha!! brill thanks Vtecmec

i may ask for closer pics of your bay area if possible once the engine is out
also, is that valve a stock item in a non-abs 4g?

I think the valve is a stock Accord one. I think the 4g uses something different and that is no longer available, this was effectively the only option from memory.

Carful on the prop valve, most Honda ones are different.
