I think you've got that right! I've not crossed that problem yet, but will do soon. There are a few people here with Luego pedal boxes, apparently ST boxes are the same. Someone must've sussed by now. If not then give Luego a buzz and post the answer back here for the rest of us!!

I'm going to Luego at the weekend for their BBQ (weather permitting) so I'll get Matt to show me how it works. I guess you'd just fit it in the middle and let Mr SVA man set it up when it's on the brake testing rollers.

Me there too

I'll be at the BBQ too, I hope they've got a TV there for the GP. Rain for a BBQ and RWD V8 test drive day....how unfortunate is that!

Dax manual

Hello Billy,

That DAX manual looks very well put together. Is it that good on all areas of how to put together a car? Would you say it's worth getting hold of a copy (DAX charge 20quid but I'm sure a finished builder would sell one on for less).

Would you recommend it?

Eddie

Dragging up an old thread I know but, is it really necessary to fit a balance bar to a road only car? I am intending to fit an adjustable pressure limiter to the rear brakes to allow a measure of control but I think a proper bias-adjustable setup is OTT apart from on the racetrack. What are your thoughts?
