Default Question: brake proportioning valve

I'm installing disc brakes in place of the drums on the front of my 69 Type
1. Do I need a brake proportioning valve? Thanks.

Not really. You'd like it for the rear cirquit, but from the factory
they are for the front, AFAIK.

But if you remove them (they attach directly to the master cylinder, and
brake line attaches to them in return)
the brake line coupler threads no longer fit.. the valve leaves behind a
different size/pitch thread.

This might become a problem.
