Pedal Box - I am rubbish - Cannot make a decision !
Cannot make my mind up do I :-
1. OBP Pedal Box with balance bar
2. Tiger own set up
For and against:-
1. One piece of kit and looks good - But will it pass IVA Norwich
2. Proven set up which passes IVA Norwich - Clutch n Brake are seperate units and throttle is a top mount swing
Heart says OBP Type
Head says Tiger
Aaaaaarghh !

Adjustable balance bar is not acceptable for IVA

From searching the net, build blogs etc I picked up that certain IVA stations dont like bias bars. A friend of mine has just had a nightmare getting
his Sebring through at Norwich recently. Ended up re-piping and fitting a mini cooper proportion valve.
I only want to do it the once ta.....

I believe the ruling is you can't Adjust them once set. I do seem to recall a lot of debate around the drill and pin question. May be worth
checking with VOSA

Good point - I had assumed that drilling & pin was acceptable, sure I had read somewhere of them getting a spot of weld on them.
Its all designed to put us off Im certain....

IVA yet. Not sure if the goalposts have moved again tho?

iirc, the latest iva manual confirms drilling and lock wire is acceptable.

to confirm, note 5 section 9b does state lockwire is acceptable.

But you need a warning sticker telling the next owner not to remove the lockwire. 9b item 27 and note 6
Wording required is
"Adjusting front/rear brake bias may invalidate approval and breach Construction and Use requirements. "
IVA is easier in this respect than SVA. I think they realised everyone was just making them adjustable again after the test.

Thx for the feedback.
Any advice on setting it up before locking off?
Thinking it would be a pain if tester says balance is incorrect at that stage...

i helped eddie set up his, to pass the iva, have he had the most force as we could on the front and then wind back 4 turns, which woudl give you
around a 70/30 spilt.
but we had an area where we tested it
hope this helps

OBP Pedal Box
OK decision made and bought an OBP Pedal Box. Nice piece of kit, well finished.
Anyone got pictures of linking throttle and clutch cables to pedals with this box?
