Rear brakes again
I want to fit rear discs and need to reduce the rear braking effort ,currently on drums.I have a wilwood proportioning valve but been told it wont
work because the pressure in the system is to low.
Would a valve from a mondeo fitted to the m/c be suitable . What have others used.

Just stick with drums -- on your they are working well below their stopping capacity.
Rear drums have some advantages over discs in a road car, a much better handbrake, brakes shoes last twice as long as brake pads. and they self-servo
at low pedal pressure.

Perhaps you should of added that in the orginal post, maybe someone could of given advice on that too.
Fitting a valve in the m/c would work, i'm guessing you have single sierra one, instead of twins.
