Is there anyway to adjust it in car besides actually mounting it there. Ive found remote knobs that only seem to work if you have a bias bar setup, which I do not.

You can take the knob off the valve, and attach the remote adjuster cable where the knob used to be.

The one I did this to the knob was held on with red loctite, I had to heat it to get it off.

so something like this would work if I can get the original knob off

IIRC there is a remote knob like this made just for the combined proportioning valve you have.

Edit: I'm having trouble finding it but it looks like the one in this kit. Maybe out of production? It used to be displayed along with the valve on Wilwood's site IIRC.
