Many times if you can carefully remove the brass seat insert, you can remove the "pintle valve" and then put the seat back in place.....

From what I have seen, the so called valve isn't much of a valve at all....but a rubber "obstacle" for stopping LOTS of fluid flow...as if drum brakes were being pulled back into position after braking...they have springs to pull them back.....a very violent action vs the retraction of the disc pistons.

The calipers have only the retractor seals to pull them back mere thousandths of an inch, so the resulting fluid back flow is miniscule...in comparison.

I would bet a dollar that the version shown, which is normally a disc/drum M/C, still has the pintle valve bits behind the drum section (small section).

I have also heard of the hot rod guys using V6 Mustang M/C's with some success, already set up for disc/disc. I believe that they fit the older Ford boosters....but not sure about Benditalia....
