remote brake bias adjuster?
I got a remote brake bias adjuster with my Wilwood brake, I know the theory of how it works but just can't see it. It just seems to move the bar
along, not changing angles on the bias bar. Am I missing something? Yours, confused!
Also concerned that the cable may get in the way of my floor mounted accelerator pedal!

dont think in its static position (dependant on same push rod adjustment lenght) you will see a change in angle, the adjustment just moves the
leaverage point so when the peddel is depressed hard you shoud get more force applied to one cylinder more than the other and then the angle of the
bar changes.

What the Rally Design diagram doesn't show (assuming it is in fact the same as mine) is that threaded bias bar has a central pivot thingy fixed
to it. When you wind the bar left or right, the position of the pivot moves inside the bush between the pedals. This, in combination with having
different diameter master cylinders for front and back, means that one cylinder gets pushed in more than the other; winding the bar either way adjust
how much the difference is.

Hi
What Hubug said ^^^, the adjuster moves the balance bar bearing within the tube thus altering the pivot point and hence the moment arms to the two
master cylinders.
