I think there is a post in the articles section that details the size of the different valves, it might be worth a look at

There's a very easy solution to stop the rear brakes from locking up............don't fit rear discs.

agreed rear discs are a complete and utter waste of time apart from looks lol by the time you have toned them down enough to lock up you probably have less braking force than drums imo

OK, I'll compromise and allow the option of small diameter discs with tiny calipers featuring a small pad surface area.

Colin, im telling the truth lol, the discs locked up all the time so I fitted a bias pedal box, also the handbrake was crap,

I felt the drums looked dated,

Just reduce the size of your rear pads, friction area.

This should solve your problem.

Think he means reduce size of pad not the thickness.
