Default Mk3/4 Bias pedal box....

Just testing the market at the mo to see if its worthwhile us designing one for the Escort ???

It could be possible to base it around our Scooby ones so a direct fit inside the car may be possible...

The scooby ones look like this

May need to borrow a car though to sort it - if there is any interest If you need to ask what it does ..... then you don't need one

I know you did mate. He said you were pleased

Price depends a bit on quantity and full spec of the master cylinders I suppose. As a complete guess with all the propper spec AP stuff your looking at 3 figures beginning with 3..... ???

Completely does away with the servo, cross-over bar, and the old master cylinder set-up which so often has caused poor braking.

Not looking for orders at this stage - as I said just guaging an interest

Martin is very helpful on all sorts of stuff mate, all the suspension stuff is developed and tested to destruction on my car. The Bilsteins, the rear link kits, the TCA's, the front and rear tie bars etc. All the electrical kit including ECU stuff, wiring looms, welding, fabrication, etc is all done in house so we know what works and what dosn't.

Thats how mine works Nigel - in the engine bay Were looking at all options at the moment both inside and out. Each has its own advantages I suppose.

Would you say it gives you any improvement ? Got any pics

I'd consider one if the price was right as the brakes on mine are shot to bits
