Brake Proportioning Valve

[Baz.]

when i fit my rear discs, i dont want to use a bias pedal box, so can i use a brake proportioning valve to put more braking to the front? i dont want the car spinning around

 

is anyone using one??

Of course you can its only a pressure reducing valve.

[Tom]

You can get those adjustable ones too bud

or you could get some mole grips and put it on the flexi that goes to your axle or hammer the brake line flat so it limits the flow of hydraulic fluid to the rear brakes............

 

 

Or not

you not using a bias pedal box then??

[Noodles]

Nope, i mean im no expert but the only advantage to a bias pedal box is each line has its on cyclinder and gives more pressure, dunno

A bias will displace more hydraulic fluid, also mean's you have two separate brake circuits and if you boil a fluid in one circuit the other circuit will still work.

 

 

It's also proper handy if one master cylinder fails you still have the other that'l work to stop you.

Would say that if you gonna be using it mainly for road stuff your better off getting an auto adjuster thingy, like the ones fitted to most cars as standard like the 2.8 cappa and most of the plastic escorts etc. These will adjust to the road type etc. The adjustable ones are more for track so that you can get the best braking for one track by dialing it in but even then it'll only be set up to work best in certain corners but then when camber changes etc you setup will be let down.

 

Hope that makes sence, i got a bias valve off an escort i think, down the breakers for about a fiver.
