brake force regulator and still they don't work . The front disc brake work fine. I've got good fluid flow to the rear but just don't work. I've been advised to convert them to disc. So if anybody can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Not sure about %ages but the vast majority of braking effort is done by the front.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Use the pointy screw driver thru a bolt hole trick to make sure the (non-)self-adjuster is pulled right down to take up all the slack.
Adjust pedal rod and bulkhead rods (what a wonk design) to take up wear and slack.

Did they work fine before you changed the parts? Could it be that they just need 'bedding in' a bit?
Having replaced the parts you have you need to check the rear brakes are adjusted correctly (should auto adjust but the adjusters are not very good). Then check the handbrake adjustment is correct.
