any body on here done a bias brake conversion to there escort with the pedal box etc as i think i might do that aswell while the engine is out & to get the best from the rear disc conversion that will be put on also, pics or links would be an advantage

 

Cliff has one in his newly restored spanker

Nuts R Us also does in his RSi i believe

 

i do also


no pics as yet thou as its all gotta be refitted yet


mine is with internally mounted master cylinders, both cliffs and tony's are mounted inside the engine bay (probably easier)

 

where did you get the complete kit from mate, i havent a clue how it all goes together but its allot more space saving & better for the braking what sort of price are we talking? cheers for your help

 

this is mine....




got it from rally design, think it was def well under 200 sheets



mine needs the steering coloum modifying thou, not a problem on mine thou as i have a weld in cage to come off of



gartrac use to make them for thier rwd conversions, could try them


or


hassle martin at mef motorsport, he has had loads of interest in them already

 

cool could you tell me why theres 2 pots for the brake fluid on cliffs s1 here, is it becouse he has a hydrolic clutch? i dunno if he has myself like but most cars that has these bias boxes have 2 pots why is this?

 

They have a reservoirs per master cylinder. And pedal boxes usually have 2 different sized cylinders to help balance the braking front to rear

 

i see, so from the brake pedal theres a balance bar going to 2 cylinders & 1 brake line coming from each master cylinder then a 't' peice to each side? is that right yeah

 

yeah

 

that doesnt sound as complicated as i thaught then, you learn something new every day, cheers

 

probably cost about Ł400 with all the brakelines and fittings
mine works well

 

why does the stearing colum need modding is it just your paticular set up or do all escorts need it doing

 

1 cylinder for front brakes, 1 cylinder for rear brakes.

Diffrent sizes to compensate and help out the brake bias (rear brakes need less pressure)

Ignore the 'bolt' through the bias adjuster this was a work in progress shot about 5 years ago But it shows you the frame work we made for mine.



How it looks with the bottles



We made one the other week for a RWD Mk4 - I guess that could be converted over to FWD applications - if enough interest Everytime we ask we only ever get about 2 - 3 people interested.

We make all sorts

The direct fit Subaru one...



The Sierra one...

 

where mine has internal master cylinders they foul the coloum
