break bias??

[allgearnoidea]

Hey, ive replaced my FAM7821 because the old unit had a leak and have bled and bled (literally) but am struggling to get good feel on the peddle? im thinkin of removing it an adding a bias valve to the rear. theres one on mini spares MS72 but its a little pricey, ive seen one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAKE-BALANCE-ADJUSTING-BIAS... , but this says it has pressure reduction of up to 60% is this enough cus i know the drum do less than 40% of breaking effort? cheers

That regulator valve is a real PITA. Remember the threads in it are METRIC whereas the rest of the braking system is 3/8" UNF threads! Only cheapskate Rover could do something as stupid as that!
I guess you could run the rear pipes directly from the master cylinder to a 21A1774 pressure regulator and this could be mounted either on the front bulkhead as a modification or on the rear subframe like the earlier Minis. I believe an adjustable one of these is still available from Mini Spares.
