[robx1r]

can anyone confirm this please? i should also mention i've removed the rear load adjuster

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

How are you controlling the bias front/rear? Brake balance valve?

[robx1r]

i havent figured that out yet :scared::sad2:

i probably will get an adjustable valve, or just be done with it and get a pedal box

what would you suggest

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

With the race cars, we used the primary circuit of the master cylinder to control the front brakes, then t piece the secondary circuit into one line, into the bias valve then t piece it back out to two lines for the rears.

[robx1r]

i was thinking of the same, like copying the layout on the global gt lights, which is the primary circut thought?

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Picture is easier....

Basically you want the front brakes actuated directly, as most effort is needed at the front.

perfect matt! thank you

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Anytime!;)

any bias valves lying around? i'm debating running braided lines through out as in remove my new knuifer nickle ones, 160 euro though

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

One thing I will say is.... If you use a bias valve, get a good quality one, as I have seen some cheaper ones go wrong internally. In bad cases the rears come on as hard as the fronts....:eek:

[robx1r]

there is nothing in the rear no seats etc i'm eyeing up a willwood one

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

I'll have a quick word with Oli Davies on here, I think it was the willwoods one we put on his first car that buggered up and tried to kill him at brands hatch, in the end I think I put a tilton one on there... My memory is fading with old age.:(
