pedal bias bar

[bluesatin]

Which way do I screw for mor e rear bias- I always forget this!

[stig]

Been thinking the same thing! It locked up the rears a little too readily for my liking at Rockingham

[bluesatin]

other way round for me- way too much brake dust on the front

Hi mate - according to my reponse from Richard (well, inverting it for your usage):

For more rear bias, wind the bias bar so that you have more thread on the left side (clutch side) of the pedal.

Not sure about the inverting....Are the Front/Rear master cylinders reversed in the LHD car?

I think that Stig was referring to adjusting the front bias as opposed to the rear, not that there would be master cylinders on either side.

If you wanted to play around and work out the effect you could always try and find some wet grass or other low grip surface and do a trial adjustments to work out the effect of turning the dial/bar one way or the other – this way you would not flat spot your tyres

Correct

So to re-cap, in a right hand drive car - more threads on the right side of the pedal means less rear bias/more front bias and more threads on the left side of the pedal means more rear bias/less front bias.

Simple eh

So screw clockwise for more rear bias and anticlockwise for more front bias!

Dunno 'til I've tried it! I didn't explain it like that in case the thread was reversed for some reason. Have you already got stuck in the footwell trying to adjust it then?

"So screw clockwise for more rear bias and anticlockwise for more front bias!"

That sounds right to me
If you look under the dash you should see the Bios moving left and right.
Get a tip-x pen draw a arrow on the knob, with a F for forward and your never hanf the probelm again.
I think you can get a little sticker arrow and F to make it look a bit more racey.

done it loads of times but when your feet are sticking out the door and you looking up at the dash you forget which way is which!

Remember, depending on which way you're winding clockwise from will change it too!

[bluesatin]

that was a fun afternoon- fully biased!

Yes..... I think you'll find Wayne spending most of his time walking around with a black bias bar.
