I have the same set up and they work very well.

I don't run the Nissan proportioning valve but do use the Rover one.

I've tried two different valves, would there be any chance of a pic of the valve you are using

Cheers Darren

Sorry no photos of the valve.

You would need to be a gynocologist to get a photo where mine lives!

One point if you use the rear port on the m/c for the front brakes and the front for the rear it should work better.

If you check the workshop manual the front port only feeds 4 of the front pistons whilst the rear feeds 4 front and 4 rear.

I'm thinking of swapping mine as it tends to lock rear wheels before the front.

Let us know how it goes as it will influence how we sort out our brakes.
