There is some online content on servicing the FAM jobby - mostly Landrover related, I think. You wouldn't know until you've got it apart, no repair kit will be any good if the bore's pitted.

Retro minis has a kit that is entirely bolt on... You'll still have to bleed the brakes though.

Oops!! I didn't realise the company was that bad 😮
Anyway thier website (if still available) will give you an idea of the parts needed.
Usually short joining pipes to bridge the FAMwtf valve and then an inertia type rear Tee piece.

Ditch the valve and fit the old type valve after first making it adjustable.
