Sierra brake bias
Can anyone tell me what the correct position of the Sierra 's rear wheels brake compensator is and where its leads are going to ? The upper one
comes from the mastercylinder and the lower connection goes to the rear wheels, is this correct ? At the moment the rear wheels are blocking and the
fronts not. Wrong position and or wrong connection of the brake leads ?

This how I did mine way back although have binned it now. 35 degrees seems to ring a bell somewhere though. Bottom goes to mc and top goes to rear
wheels.

Are the front new? they may just need bedding in although it does sound like you've got it the wrong way around, but on these light cars you
don't even need it in my opinion.

The best place to fit it is definitely in the bin. They work on the angle of dive under braking which is not going to happen in a seven type car like
it does in a Sierra.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Brake bias
Agree with above, mine went in the bin.
I did use a Fiat uno rear brake bias for the SVA/IVA, And after my 1st MOT that went in the bin too.
