Are you fabricating your own pedal box by modifying the original or buying one already done?

Does the brake warning light mechanism also contain a proportioning valve etc? If so, what size M/C's are you going to use front and rear?

Cheers

Yeah that is something i am also curious about, the factory 'brake proportioning valve'.. does it restrict the rear circuit ? and on the factory arrangement only the brake line for the left side goes through it.. why is this ?

Paul

I going to purchase a bias pedal box.

You will have to advise me on that one. I have not given that much thought
You can get three sizes 0.625, 0.700 and 0.750

Correct me if I am wrong but thinking about it you would probably want the rears to come on just before the fronts. Now you could get the same size and move the balance bar or you could get clever and have different sizes. So the smaller they are the less volume of fluid. So you could go 0.625 on the fronts and 0.700 on the rear.

Standard setup for front brakes

Left hand side front brake to valve
valve to brake booster
brake booster to front right hand side.
The front brakes are connect at the end of the pushing action on the pedal
so the Rears will come on first.

One question the valve to brake booster, connector on valve front brakes is a large connecter not M10. What size is it?

On the brake master cylinder sizes,I posted somewhere on what is in my car,I run a Mk2 Escort balance bar pedal box and the brake balance and performance is sensational!! Btw guys,I have a brand new .75" Girling Remote Resevoir Master Cyl if anyones interested.$80[:p]

It was with my hydraulic clutch upgrade that I posted the brake master cyl sizes,I just cant find it at the moment[B)][;^)]

I think it would be better to have the front lock before the rears?

I think the common combo for the factory brakes is a .700 for the fronts and .750 for the rears.
