November 9, 200619 yr finally found time to install the rear brakes and I have been driving around with this conversion for over a month now (5000mi) and all I can say is that I should have done it over 15 yrs ago...effortless too stop...the rear wheels will not lock up under wet conditions and on gravel roads which I have tried numerous times to do... so I can only assume at this time the proportioning valve works great with this set up...soon the snow will come, and I will try again to lock them up

I concur, you should have done it a long time ago. It's one of the easiest and nicest updates you can do to the car.
November 10, 200619 yr Author I agree to what you have said...plus the extra feeling of added driving security is an extra bonus...

It's fine to leave the valve out on the EA82's because they had valves for the drums. But I HAD to install it in my Brat - it would lock the rears easily without it - very scary on wet pavement. GD

Before then they might be the same, but I'm not sure.
