Which Bias valve?

[Bluebeard]

I need a bias valve.

Which one should I buy? I'm not into experimenting and infinate adjustments, I am the sort to just set it where I like it and then i'll probably leave it alone.

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Pro...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2a08db4c

i use the lever type mainly because its easier to check no one has messed with it!

It would be up to you and where its going to be fitted?

Id have the knob one if it was going to be fitted on the dash and the leaver one if it was being mounted on the floor

Do they need to be mounted anywhere specifically? Ideally, i'd want it out of reach so passengers etc don't whack it when belting up etc.

chuck it wherever, mines next to the gearstick (driverside)

I like the Tilton lever types to as they onky have a certain number of preset positions to.

If you're not worried about regulations it can go anywhere you like. I've got mine at the rear of the handbrake bracketry in the 19.

So the length of brake pipe doesn't have any negative effect?

 

[Fred@BTM]

well it has to run to the rear of the car somehow, and hydraulic pressure doesn't suffer a pressure drop

I've just bought a Tilton dial type for my Clio, I've used a few of these now (different cars). I have had 1 lever type fail on me in the past so just stick with dial type ones now.

D'oh!

Too late. I ordered a lever one last night.

If it's going to be for racing use, most championships have to be mounted out of the driver's reach whilst normally seated.
