I've had many enquiries about supplying a bias pedal box for Mk3/4 Escorts. Although I have made a 1 off unit many years ago (that's fitted to the NutsRus RS1600i) I dont actually make a production unit.

As you may be aware, the main problem on these cars is the springy brake pedal that offers no confidence in it's feel or ability to stop you! I remember many years ago when I built my first Mk4 rally car, heaving on the brake pedal (no bonnet fitted), I was alarmed to see the brake Servo & master cylinder nodding up and down! Most of the action is lost in that crossover bar and the servo bracketry, also resultant bulkhead flexing. (I heard that LHD cars are much better?)

The answer is to remove the servo and crossover bar and fit a bias pedal box on the drivers side bulkhead, directly in front of the pedal. This is exactly what I did (and so did Ford for GpA homologation!). Due to space limitations, it's best to have the cylinders vertically mounted although on the prototype I made they were horizontal and just fitted in with the narrow x/flow engine! A cable operated dash mounted control adjusts the front rear bias.

So, if there's enough interest I will design a new bias pedal box and get them into production! This will be a high quality unit, using AP racing cylinders and a proper spherical bearing for the balance bar. The metalwork would be finished in black powder coat. It won't be cheap though, there's a lot of work and parts in one of these and I dont expect there to be a massive demand so would only be a low production unit, I expect it to be around the £350 mark. (not including reservoirs and pipework or bias control, they will be optional extras.)

Let me know if you would be interested so as I can guage if it would be worthwhile. If anyone is interested, I already manufacture a very successful unit for the Subaru Impreza, pictures available if you e-mail me!

Cheers,

Martin
