Buy this (or the like) install it under the hood as usual
Flyin' Miata : Chassis : Brakes : Complete adjustable brake proportioning kit
Very carefully cut the adjuster **** off of the threaded rod coming out of the valve. The trick is to trim around the edge of the **** so it can be split open and removed from the threaded rod, so the rod remains intact. Do not cut the threaded rod or damage its threads.
Buy one of these:

Route the adjuster cable with the **** mounted on the dash, in the cab, wherever you can reach it. Thread the other end of the cable onto the valve rod (the one the **** was cut off of) and loctite it into place.
Done

I didn't notice it, but my wife noticed my rears locked up on a few occasions while at T11 CMP.
Also, similar to what Hustler said earlier, the prop valve is really helpful for trail braking, more so than lock-ups...unless you only do your braking in a straight line...

Also means I have the same 11" vented discs all around, so I can "rotate" discs when the fronts get low. Each time I buy 2 replacement discs, I put those on the front and move the worn ones to the rear. And taking one replacement 11" rotor with me to the track covers me for all four corners too.
