The Nissan GQ Patrol has a lever adjustable brake
bias control valve mounted above the rear diff and connected to the diff by
a spring. When the rear lifts under heavy braking, the spring tension
increases, pulling the brake bias valve lever and lowering pressure to the rear
brakes to counter rear wheel lock up.
This bias valve and lever could be mounted on
the tunnel beside the driver, with the rear brake line running through
it. By fitting a screw adjuster to the lever you could make a fully
adjustable rear brake system, operated from the drivers seat.
Or you can buy a similar device for about $140 from
a race car equipment supplier. Tilton make one and I am sure others
are available.

I would have to add that
the Mini is equipped with a brake pressure limiting valve. This unit can be
very easily (read economically ) modified ( requires a hole, a thread & a
bolt ) to provide brake balance controller.
I think that Richard
Clough did some research /plans on trying the Nissan Patrol rear brake limiter
also.
