twin master cylinders and IVA?
I know the sierra master cylinder has a low fluid warning switch as standard but is it needed for IVA?
Is this warning system needed when people use twin master cylinders with a balance bar and if it's needed how have people got round it?

You can use twin cylinders but you need to use reservoirs with the low fluid doodah from folk like car builders solutions. I seem to remember that the bias bar needs to be locked so its no longer adjustable, yep it kinda makes a mockery of it but that's IVA for you....I might be wrong though as it's been awhile

I know the balance bar needs to be lockable just was'nt sure about the low fluid warning system. I'm going to play with some possible new pedal boxes, with my knees and ankles being the way they are the standard floor mounted set up will not work for me. Might try a hung set or possibly try and rejig the book design. Thanks for heads up about CBS.

Yes you do Phil, it's a very important part of the test. You need to have a way of testing its operation, sierra's have a push button in the top of the filler cap that will activate the switch when pressed. Also you need a way of checking that the bulb is working in the warning light, reason why the handbrake light is also the low brake fluid warning light or you can have a separate switch on the dash somewhere that will activate the light.

Yeah hanging pedals work best for folk with big feet and also may be able to get more room by taking them further into the engine bay...have a butchers at a Caterham to see what i mean about that bit

thanks for that guys, I don't have big feet I just don't have much movment in my ankles and knees due to the dreaded Arthur, I have to drive by moving my whole leg instead of flexing my ankle.
