If you don't have a detailed knowledge of setting up braking systems then perhaps using a bias bar is not a good idea, they are best use for
serious track use only, it is too easy to get temptned into twiddling with the brake balance !which can result in spinning into a hedge when you
least expect it.
I would suggest instead you fit a single tandem cylinder. Loads of info in the threads on Fiat or early Fiesta master cylinders.
However if you really want a bias bar set up you need single circuit cylinders, I would suggest a starting with a 0.625" cylinder on the front
and a 0.7" cylinder on the rear circuit.

Thats a sound bit of advice deviate at your peril.....
Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

The J15 it has a bias bar, I have it set up road tested and wire locked. The J15 pedal box as supplied cannot accommodate a tandem cylinder otherwise
I would have fitted one (no room). My Megabusa has one and it came locked in place. I had labels made up that reflect the IVA law must fit one to the
Westie!

Garages wouldn't know how to setup balance bars.

In my opinion you need to make up a temporary jig, to operate the foot brake, to finely tune the bias bar before taking it on the road. The road is
the last place to adjust it.
