Residual Valves - Rear disks ??

Hi

Going to be running a twin master cylinder pedal box with a rear disc set up without rear brake compensator valve set up on the beam and using a adjustable bias inside the car to set up the pressure to the rear brakes,

What I need to know is, when I striped the car down it had these two residual valves? (I think) just behind the front seats going to the rear brakes with the set up above will I still need to use them or can I just run straight pipe to each caliper. or do these play a important job??

Also if I do need them. Now I have them out of the car cant remember which end is front to rear  line in line out ? :oops:

You can bin them . Drums brakes require them to keep residual pressure at the rear drums .

Using an adjustable bias inside the car to set up the pressure to the rear brakes will be fine .
