Karcraft carries the standard rear one used on single brake line Minis & vans. About $57 I think. They can be modified to be adjustable, according to the Poms- but it's illegal here to be able to adjust it from inside the car. |

Sorry to bump an old thread. What is the quality on the 21A1774? I am unsure if its worth putting a kit through my original 64 valve or buy a new one. My current one has packed up and locks the rears up if i hit the anchors. |

Kits for this `pressure limiting valve' have been NLA since Lockheed stopped making them, years ago. As said above if you find any kits we are all interested. 
I have heard of people fitting a Willwood F/R adjustable proportioning valve instead, sorry no idea of part number. |

You could try Leon at Quick Service Brake and Clutch. He re-sleeved my master cylinders and rear wheel cylinders last year and I was really pleased with them and the service I got from him. At the time he was after some secondhand bias valves that he could recondition, so I guess he can get seals for them. I think he said at the time that he was BMC trained, maybe an ex-apprentice? http://www.quickservicebrakes.com.au/ Anyway, he's on my list of highly recommended services. Tim |
