My brake pipes at the rear are looking a bit rusty as is the rear brake bias valve. I was wondering if anyone has removed the valve totally and linked the pipes?
My valve and all fittings look as if I was to show them a spanner they would turn to dust.
Any thoughts on brake pipe size too? :nenau
 
I followed your link and it was to do with your intercooler install.
I must have a word on cncfabs to see if he has a bias valve block in stock, not 100% sure what I am going to do yet, I have been told by someone that if I put all the pipes together it may pop the rear drum seals. Not convinced that would be the case though.
 
I'm trying to think who wanted the intercooler link now as they're probably wondering what the feck to do with a bias valve :doh
Damn you drink :lol
 
And I thought I was doing something wrong. :doh
No I'm not that naive, I've got a bias pedal box in the Chevette so I knew what you were talking about. I am surprised you were aloud to pass the MOT with a bias lever fitted, when I put the Chevette on the road the test centre on the island wasn't going to let the car go on the road with a bias valve just in case someone turned the knob and adjusted it. I told the guy once the car was set up I was going to take the knob off (yeah right), he said it wouldn't be road legal even though every rally good rally car has this type of setup .
 
My trol passed with it on and I even got to adjust it up on his rollers :D
My son works on rally Escorts Mk1 and 2 all with bias etc . No issues with MOT on them either :nenau
They must be picky in the smoke :lol
