Ahh, I see. That definitely makes sense. Sure helps to not only have someone experienced with this, but to have the previous owner weigh in

The Valve Moroso supplied for my accumulator on the Mk3 was a Goyen Solenoid (I worked for the company in the mid 80's) got pics of this Ball valve?NashMan;1900125 said:my moroso e-vavle is a ball valve same size as my -10 line
