TSM disk brake kit questions

[Diesel Binder]

I have a 1980 Scout terra pickup that I would like to convert the rear brakes to discs. I like the TSM kit, but I do have a few questions. Does the stock parking brake cable work with this kit, and if not what does? I also plan on replacing the power booster/master cylinder with a hydroboost unit. With the combination of the hydroboost unit and the rear disc brakes, what has been your experience as far as the proportioning valve is concerned - keep it, or replace it with an adjustable one? Hope I'm not to wordy - my first post. Thanks

When you buy the TSM kit from us we weld on a piece of tube to the caliper bracket that allows a stock parking brake cable to be used with the only modification needed to the stock cable itself is the removal of the spring that is wrapped around the end of the cable.

As for the proportioning valve I like to replace the stock one with an adjustable version when going to rear disc brakes.
