You could try the modified Mini brake pressure limiting valve trick,

I will, eventually, try this on my car. But I cannot vouch for it at the moment.
Has anyone tried this before?

Hi all listers,
I have a brake question for ya all!! I have 200B Girlock brakes in the
front and scorpion discs and calipers in the rear. All four discs are
freshly machined and the pads are reasonably new. Calipers are in good
condition to the best of my knowledge. I have a brake booster which I think
is 180B (it was the only mod on the car when I bought it)
When I brake hard, the rear wheels lock up whilst the front are still in the
process of braking the vehicle. I HATE this as I have limited control and
feel that my brakes could be performing better. It also is destroying my
tyres due to the lock-up.
How do I solve this problem. I am aware that you get a 'bias' valve
installed on the car, but this is expensive and requires engineers
certificate. Could a different master cylinder be installed, say, from a
car with 4 wheel discs??? Because I have gone from drums to discs, I assume
that there is to much hydraulic pressure on my rear discs, therefore causing
them to lock up before the front. Do different master cylinders distribute
different amounts of pressure between front and rear than what a 180B
mastercylinder would????
IS there any good websites on this topic???
Any help much appreciated.
thanks, Damien.
