Alfa sud brake bias valve

[Alfa.mg]

Did all suds come with a rod from rear suspension (panhard rod i think) that adjusted rear brake bias? Mine is a series 3 ti and i though it had been removed but am now starting to suspect maybe that was how it originally came?
There is a hydraulic body for brake lines there but it seems to not have any connection for the missing rod but rather a very original looking cap. Haynes manual has a pic of the missing rod setup but doesnt mention a change for late models.
Thanks

My series 3 TI is the same. It has a valve gadget but no rod.

No series 3 Suds came with a brake load bias valve, i was told this by an Alfa Romeo expert about 30 years ago when i was in their workshop.
But this didn't stop me from putting one in out of a earlier model as part of the hydraulic handbrake that went in to replace the non functioning mechanical handbrake.
I am pretty sure that a 33 has a brake bias valve, would need to look to confirm 100%.
Maybe Alfa Romeo hadn't paid the bills for the bias valves and so left them out till they checked down the back of the couch for some loose change, Colin.

Thanks for confirming my theory guys.

I thought only the TiQV came with a hydraulic brake valve as has different springs to an S3 Sud (so all other Suds were mechanical)?? The TiQV brake valve is damn near impossible to find so I fitted an adjustable bias valve many years ago.
