Dual Brake Master Cylinders

Are dual brake master cylinders legal for the sva..??

Was just thinking out loud, and wondering if you could have 1 per circuit front and rear and lose the proportioning valve by using a bias bar arrangement...?

Or is this a non starter..?

Cheers

Pete

What about bias valves...?

especially iff they are fitted somewhere that it would be impossible to adjust on the fly..?

Basically you have two options, the easiest way is to make sure it isnt adjustable for the SVA, so put an ali cover over it.

If it is adjustable, then the rear brakes cannot lock before the fronts in the worst possible scenario, ie with the brakes biased right to the back they still can't lock first.

Other than that, no problems with them.

If you use a bias bar /twin master cylinder system the bias vbar has to be locked , usually with roll pins
