I'm quite happy to use an adjustable proportioning valve. Had to implement one on my '70 C10 having done a similar assisted disc brake upgrade on it.

Understood. I would prefer to have vacuum assisted brakes.

Did not know this. Dual system is a must. Braking is not to be compromised on.
Given the above, what would the recommendation be? Perhaps this ? :

Could I use the hardware from a 73 onwards with a bracket?
