Brake balance bar
Gent
I'm after a bit of advice. As most kit car have a bias balance bar on the brake yet the IVA says they need to be permanently locked. How have you gone about this and what will pass the IVA? https://haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=13262 https://www.flickr.com/photos/124541083@N02/ |
Make sure you are reading the current version of the IVA manual, I remember reading that it had been amended to read 'locked in a set position' in which case you can do this with washers between the bearing and each clevis then more washers with a plain nut on each end. Lockwire the nuts in place but for testing and 'on the day correction' it is still adjustable and re-lockable.
copied from the gov.uk website Note 5: Bias bars and other mechanical adjusting devices fitted to twin master cylinders must be rendered inoperable by mechanical means e.g. lockwiring of components. Note 6: Adjusting front/rear brake bias may invalidate approval and breach Construction and Use requirements. 26. It must not be possible to manually adjust braking rates between axles see note 4 and 5 (so no manual adjustment from the drivers seat) 27. Vehicles fitted with adjustable twin master cylinders that have been rendered inoperable by mechanical means to comply with RS 26 must have a label affixed on the master cylinder or the immediate vicinity with legible text as detailed in note 6. |
basically you cannot have a bias adjuster in the cab, it can be adjusted with a spanner at the master cylinder, fit nylock nuts and youll be ok
