Guys
found out a little trick today, firstly manual proportioning valve i was looking at is out of the question , totally illegal it seems.
The other is guess what, every one has been fooling around with the rod which gives little adjustment.
The LSPV at the other end of rod is .... you guessed it is adjustable.
If you look at the valve there is two 12mm nuts that hold it to the chassis rail, undo slightly and you will be able to move LSPV up or down, be careful here as moving it either way greatly influences the valve because you will see it is connected directly to pin in the LSPV.
Ok this is what happens, rod gives adjustment slightly because of lever effect.
Adjusting the LSPV Body say only 5 mm gives massive adjustment because adjustment is happening at the valve.
1 Undo bolts and pull LSPV Down towards floor will give full pressure to rear brakes.I tried it on the road , it was fun .rear locks up with little brake pedal effort.
2 Undo bolts and push LSPV up a little and retry brake test.
3 When you have it in a position your happy with ie fairly good rear rear brakes with little effort at the pedal, deadjust the rod end which gives little adjustment over wide motion if you know what i mean , this will make brakes less aggressive to a happy medium for you.
I have adjusted mine and 100% happy , it worked for me.
