The book car uses drums & if you use the same setup from the donor, with perhaps smaller wheel cyls from an escort as I did, you shouldn`t have any problems with brake distribution. The Iva tester who checked mine said everything calculated spot on, not that I could decipher it, he also added that a common problem is people using rear brakes that are TOO good,typically rear discs, thus upsetting the distribution figures etc. I can only imagine the trouble you may have trying to check whether your brakes are too good or not good enough at home, or even worse to sort out a fail afterwards. I took the view it was hard enough to pass the IVA anyway without making it harder for myself, best to keep it simple and modify later if you must.
