You wouldn't happen to have Earl's contact details would you so that I can get him to do my blue tag?
Thanks.

By 'splitter valve' I assume you're referring to the splitter for the fronts which takes the single line in and then feeds out to both front disks?. If so, then yes I am but I'm not sure how that could be a problem or how you bypass it.

According to the guy that does the engineering inspection for the mod plates, you aren't supposed to get rear lock up at all. All 4 wheels are locking up at the moment. The bias valve to the rear is wound all the way out (least pressure to rears). Not sure where to go from here.

Posted this question the other day in the build project forum but no joy with a response.
I have a CA18DET conversion in a 1200 ute running R31 rear brakes from a 120Y master cylinder and a Wilwood proportioning valve in the line. I also removed the valve from the master cylinder that's there for the 120Y drums. I'm still getting rear wheel lock up. Has anyone done this before and managed to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

The valve in the master cylinder keeps pressure in the line for drums. Not required for disks.
I used the setup off the R31 for the handbrake and made a custom bracket to mount it at the diff. Everything else is stock 1200.

I used the aftermarket cable from Maddat. Have bled the fronts and the car had passed a previous engineering cert when I had Stanza rear disks. Haven't touched the fronts since.

After a lot of time and money I managed to fit a CA18DET to my 1200 ute. A couple of questions though for those of you who may know -
1. I installed a Stumpy gearbox and would like to know whether there's a way to get the 1200 speedo to display the correct speed.
2. I also installed a set of R31 rear brakes, removed the valve from the master cyclinder, installed a Wilwood proportioning valve and I'm still getting rear brake lock up. If anyone has any ideas on this it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
