ok, im using this wilwood brake setup http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4045 With a .700 and .625(i think) piston. The . 700 is running the rear and the .625 for the front. IS THIS CORRECT??? How do i get it all setup so it works properly?? Thanks
There's no 'correct' way. It's a case of fitting, in conjunction with a rear bias restrictor, and then testing it. I've got 2 x 0.625s on my Mk1, but it's untested on track yet.
i've got no rear bias restrictor fitted on mine. So a case of trial and error?? Its mainly getting the linkage at the pedal box working correctly.
Very trial and error sadly. You'll need a bias restrictor as a rule, but no harm in developing it as you go.

Seems a bit weird to have the larger master cylinder operating the rears, i've got the same sizes as you have with a willwood pedal box but the other way round, seems to work ok. U will need a bias valve in the line to the rear aswell I expect as its best not to be running the pedal box towards the extermities of it's adjustment. Mine is set central with mabe 2 or 3 turns to bias to the front and with the inline valve nearly fully in to limit the ressure to the rear. Must be about right as I decided to trial with it half a turn each way to see what effect it had and the rears locked up a bit unexpectedly.. so it quickly went back to how it was!
Should i change them round then?? With the bias valve, i have two lines running to to rear for each caliper from the MC. Do i need two bias valves?? How do i setup the pedal box onto the mk1 linkage?
I would personally, Best to run 1 line to the rear of the car behind the handbrake then fit a T to split it into 1 for each side, fit a single bias valve in the single line from the MC to the T
So what does the bias valve do then!!! ?? Looks like i'm rebuilding and re building the brake system this weekend!!! Grr How do i setup the pedal linkages etc??
