Like I said the reason I didn't have a problem was that I also used the rear out of the car the disc's came from but put in the adjustable Wilwood valve anyway. I made a custom bracket that bolted to the 2 studs that holds the master to the booster to mount the valve and plumed it from there. As with anything I make for my cars I try to make it look like it came from the factory that way.
