Remove prop valve and use adjustable?

I'd like to install an adjustable valve for the rear brakes but I'm not sure if I can just remove the regular prop valve from the aluminum block. Is there any connection internally from where the prop valve sits to the front brake part? I'm thinking that I can remove the prop valve, plug the hole and put the adjustable valve in between the valve body and the rear brake line. Would this work and still keep the functionality of the failure sensor on top of the valve body?

Re: Remove prop valve and use adjustable?

people do it, so i assume it would be fine. I didnt like the idea, so did other things

Its not terribly hard to just eliminate the valve all together and use a aftermarket valve with the front lines just tee'd together. Thats probably the best way if you dont mind a little plumbing. Either way, for that matter, you have to do some plumbing.
