How much brake bias do you have.

I know this is a question that can not give me an exact answer but having just stripped the car to remove my non adjustable bias bar and refit the adjustable one (now Iva will except a lock nut instead of welding) I am after an idea of where to start and hopefully finish.

oh and set up is standard new M16 ?Cortina setup at the front and standard Cortina 8" drums at back with Obp pedal box.

How much bias have you lot needed ?

cheers

MOT will provide some information, but the problem is that they only test at full pedal pressure. IVA will test at partial pedal pressures as well, so possible for full pressure to be ok, and partials not.

Now that rules regarding bias bar locking have been relaxed, do it up with nylocs and take a spanner and waterpump pliers with you to the IVA.
