I used 3 outlet one.
Front to to front wheels. Rear outlet to rears via a Fiat Uno bias valve.
HTH,
James

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

With all the [great] pics that Mark has, someone should give him a website.... 
... and also compile all his posts -- makes for a great "build diary"...

I'm planning the same setup as Mark and James but I have a question on the Fiat bias valve. I got it from a scrapped Uno and I think it's
stuck. How much movement is there supposed to be when you tighten the adjustment screw to press the piston down? Mine doesn't seem to move at
all.

Tom -
Friendly advice - ditch this "inrtia Valve". It has a very erratic behaviour. Meaning - the valve's "switch" point,
supposedly a predetermined level of decel, can vary considerably.
Theory's fine - reality ain't.
Fiesta PCRV (screwed into mcly outlet) is pretty good.
BOL
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

It shouldn't move at all- I hope you haven't knackered it!
It stays down in normal (non-braked) operation. When the brakes are applied it moves up. The amount you restrict it's upwards movement is the
adjustability!
Hope that helps,
James

Thanks James!
Right now I'm glad I posted the question before I tried to use more than hand force to press it down! 
Is there an easy way to see if the valve is working before I install it?

Inertia valve may cause problems at SVA.
It applies less force to the rear brakes whe decelerating hard. On the rollers there's no deceleration, so no effect from inertia valve leadind
to possible fail due to over braking on the rear.
