It should give you 'normal' braking - however, be aware that there may well not be a rear brake compensator, and that running without ABS may result in the back end locking up under heavy braking when lightly loaded, and trying to come round and meet you this might of course be preferable to hyperactive ABS preventing the van stopping! Fitting a new reluctor ring is easy enough, so worth getting it done ASAP.

There is a compensator valve on them. They're famous for having squeaky springs.
