As about.

I now working on my brake on the car and want them to be the best thay can. I'm going to rip out the ABS and fit braided hoses and 4 pots

 

bttt

 

I have a home made bias box fitted on the Escort





When you say pedal box did you mean bias pedal box ?

 

Tony, that looks wicked, how do they work then?

Also, who did your cage, I take it that goes right through the bulkhead and joins with the rest of the cage?

 

Basically the brake pedal directly pushes the 2 pistons in the back of the cylinders. No silly cross over bars to flex and lose effort through etc. The harder I push the pedal the more fluid gets pumped around the circuits so the pads are clamped to the disc stronger.

All the cage was done by us mate and yes your correct

Thats what i meant Nuts the only problem is with the set up you have that would hit the back of my engine when your rover engine sits forward for more rooms

 

this is how fords done it all them years ago



i still need to get mine sorted (god im lazy)


brom might be able to help you out with this

 

Mine was made to fit.... yes,

but then anything can be made to fit anywhere without trying too hard

 

I know how this setup works i just wanted to see how people have done it.

Just trying to sort out my RST for track days, the engine is the last thing on my list so i want to sort out all the brakes and handling

I've had a word with Brom and he's been very helpfull but there are a few things he has to keep a secret witch i understand.

Also working on a hydrualic clutch conversion right now as i was sick of snapping cables

 

If you are planning on going for a hydralic clutch why not fit a floor mounted pedal box, that way you will get the master cylinders up the back of the dash, only need to have room in engine bay for the resevoirs then

 

Sorted it out now dont need one of them i've modified the standard box to work

 

pics

 

pics ? would like to see what youve done here please

 

I've only manage to do the clutch only so far and will be working on the bias box for the brakes

I'll get pics up when its all done

 

He is a pic of my mates modified std pedal box for a hydraulic clutch conversion and he is building mine for me to.
Andrew my mate will be selling his soon as he is fitting a Willwood pedal box

 

tony in a post before you and brom both said no to fitting a floor mounted set up


why was this? as it looks like the easiest way
