load sensing valve setup

Need to fit a new load sencing/correction/aportioning valve to my mk2b. Have searched google etc but cannot find any info on these and how to set up the linkage. Any body know how its done? Excuse my spelling mistake,

if buying new it should come with a sticker showing the amount of play needed in the shaft to axle
if s/h take photos and also measure the distance of angle of the lever that acts on the piston(s) whilst car stood on floor with all wheels on
i havent done one ,they can seize on the pivot but judicious use of a penetrating oil has always seen freedom bid,do not move it far though if it has siezed only like 5mm at the most most either way

forgot to add
make sure if changing it you replace pipes as they were and dont cut them as often the ends are bigger than standard brake line fittings

The valve is a new genuine one but does nit say anything about setting it up :[


did you buy it from the factor?
if yes go back and ask for the set up sheet
or see if manufacturer has spec information on their corporate website
you didnt buy a chinese copy off tinternet did you
 
No its a new genuine one from fiat

ask them to do you a spec sheet then
you must get it right as you know
cant believe they would sell this without a compliance sheet
on lots of vehicles the sticker for these is actually on the car/truck somewhere but ive not seen one on a punto maybe it was on the beam axle but they fall off?
