Leighton, I would say that in reality this is the exception rather than "you must" rule and it depends on what hydraulics you've installed as an upgrade to the original single master cylinder on your Oz model 1600. Most ppl use the 180B proportionating valve with either a 180B 3/4" or Sunny 13/16" cylinder with 200B/240K/C210 front discs and R31 rears and usually you don't have any problems with this combo. It's no big deal if you do, you only have to fit a valve off a 7/8" system from a 240k/C210/Zed/C series etc and I've only had to do this once as the front callipers were 4 spots with a 7/8" master. I've actually seen some systems work extremely well without any external prop valve too.
