I have the gear needed to by pass the rear proportioning valve and will do it soon to see if I improves braking power.
Judging by the above photo, if the rear wheels are not on the ground during a emergency stop. then rear wheel lock up is not a issue.

The following is from a 1976/77 UK report into the reliability of 101s in army service - note the comment about 101s being dangerous when driven unladen and questioning the need for the rear brake apprortioning valve - I guess the Brits never got around to fixing the issue.
