Pics as promised.








Standard Sierra pedal box supplied to us for modding/conversion to bias box. All other components supplied with it but not photographed. IE Master Cylinders, Fixing Kit etc.

Thanks

Tony

You should be able to run stright to the calipers. Rear discs some time cause a problem with knock off. Mostly on fwd cars. This is when the disc knocks the pads back. All discs knock the pads back to a small degree but doesn't cause a problem.

If the pedal goes soft after cornering the car then you may need to for a pressure retaining valve in the line.
