Haha, that was easy.

Ok, if you want to retain all the OE stuff, just check on how to convert your combination valve from disc/drum to disc/disc.

It's a 2 minute job I think.

It's a combination valve, and no, you don't need to change it.

Have a look at the attached PDF to see the 2 minute adjustment.

absolutely nothing I haven’t been able to drive it I’m still in the process of fixing it to getting it running again since sitting since 95 you could say I did a half restoration. during this whole process I decided to do disc in the rear and I thought that everything had to be setup for a disc/disc not disc/drum
