Tilton Balance Bar

[Ant]

Have fitted my Tilton Pedal Box, overhung type to the top of my Footwell!

With getting the correct centers of the balance bar in relation to the Master cylinder(s) bore centerline, there is a lot of clearance between the clevis's and the spherical bearing housing from which the pedal comes off!

Point One: Tilton say to set the distance of the clevis's to 1/2" haven't any idea what that means? - as nothing anywhere is remotely like that if centers to avoid side load of Mastercylinders are anything to go by!

Point Two: With all this clearance, I wonder what happens if one circuit/cylinder fails then the clevis aint going to lock against the pedal spherical bearing housing to provide one circuit with some brakes?

I am not sure what you are asking?? I have Tilton Dual Master cylinder set up on my Cobra. The balance bar will let you adjust braking from front to back. You want most of the braking to come from the front. All we did was find center adjust it to the front side a few turns. Then we actually ran braking test , measuring the heat from front to back , and fined tuned it in this manner. I had an experience where I had a front brake caliper vibrate lose and still was able to stop with the back brakes. The system worked like it is suppose to. The braking was longer but we stopped. I don't know if this helped but it is a good system.

The information I was wanting is the distance between the center of clevis to center of other clevis, which gives the clearance for the balance bar to operate. Have just received an email from Tiltons Mechanical Engineer and the info is 2.5" which gives about 0.18" clearance, problem was my installation information, which came with the pedal box was not up to date!

Thanks Ant
