Hi Gents,
I am curious on  the difference between brake "Biasing" and brake
"proportioning"?
Given that one has a set up with twin masters, one each  for the front and
rear brake systems, is it better to use a bias adjustment cable from  the
cockpit to adjust the amount of force given to the front and rear brakes, or
should one use a proportioning adjustment valve. The bias bar appears to work
by adjusting the amount of force the pedal excerpts on the two masters, where
the proportioning reduces the amount of hydraulic force excerpted thru the
rear brake line to the slaves.
What is the deal? Does the Biasing do the heavy lifting and the proportioning
the micro adjustment? I suppose one needs to start with the right master bores
to start with eh?
My car has a bias bar but it is only adjustable by inserting different length
bushings between the clevis and the spherical bearing at the top of the peddle
assembly. I am debating whether to upgrade to the Tilton adjustable pedal set,
put a proportioning valve in or just leave it alone and have different bushing
sets for say wet and dry?
Thoughts?
And thank you for your time
Bill
PS; this is for a GT6
