swapped over rear end complete to a rear disc setup,works well but locks rear wheel to easy,looked on realoem and seems there are two types of restrictor valves on rear brake lines,one for drums and one for discs,i take it these need changing aswell then.?anyone done this,or not normally a problem

I think you are right, when I was talking to Ant before I did my rear disc conversation he gave me a valve from an all disc car and said that I should fit it. I'm yet to fit it so don't know how hard but can't imagine it is too tricky.

I did my rear disc conversation a couple of months ago and haven't had any problems with locking rear wheels with the old valve.

And much more importantly they look much better through your wheels than a rusty drum does!
