best bet would be to phone around motor factors in your area and look for it on net. try gettin a good price though!!
dont know if you can take the valve out and make 't' piece maybe sumplug or sedicirich or daz would know

Try WD40 to unseize it
With a bit of working with light machine oil they can be unseized - or you can get one from a bravo/brava I believe.

Think you find the Tipo 1.4 will not have a proportion valve due to rear drums.
What is the matter with the rear brakes??

No, He cannot fail it on the load valve. It is not part of the test. He only measures the efficiency of the handbrake and foot brake on all 4 wheels.
Either the handbrake is not working efficiently enough, or more likely the rear Foot brake efficiency is below 50%.
Sounds like the rear drum brakes need inspecting, stripping down, cleaning, self adjusters freeing off and resetting, and if needed, new brake shoes.
Andy.
What is the exact failure description say on your fail sheet ?
yeah although braking efficiencies are ok, the actual operation of a componant is restricted - see if it can be lubed up and freed off to try and get it through.
I'd remove it completely or bypass it, early Tipos don't have them and work fine, well mine does.
