Oh thats cool! I hadn't thought about something like that! I think you just helped me decide!

Awesome! Check out Tilton's website to get the part number. I think that Summit Racing sells it also. I'm not sure how long the cable is, but it should be long enough to put the control in a cofortable and accessable spot.

I am going this route with both the prop valve and balance bar control in the future, but not as of now.....

I have a wilwood pedal set for my Chevelle and was thinking about this - mounting it at the center console...



Wilwood Disc Brakes 340-4990 - Wilwood Remote Mount Brake Bias Adjusters

Adjust front-to-rear brake bias while racing.

Wilwood's remote mount balance bar cable adjusters are used with dual master cylinder/single brake pedal assemblies to adjust the front-to-rear brake bias during the race--without leaving the seat! They feature a bright blue knob for adjustment, and a modifiable 5 ft. cable and housing for easy installation into tight areas. They include two labels for bias identification and fit all balance bars with 3/8 in. x 24 threads...

^^^^^^ That would probably work too.

Here is the one from Tilton:

Awesome! Looks like it turned out well! What are you using for pedal pads? Also, is that a grease fitting that I see at the pivot on the brake pedal? If so, did you not get a sealed bearing?

What are you using for pedal pads?

I don't know yet, may make something up.

Also, is that a grease fitting that I see at the pivot on the brake pedal?

Yes. The bearings are the sealed ones from mustangsteve. The brake pedal still rides on plastic bushings on the clutch pedal shaft so I fit it with a grease fitting to keep them well lubed.

Ok cool.... That's probably not a bad idea for anybody else looking through this.

One thing that I think JP mentioned, our pedals will probably never see as much use as they have already seen in their lives.....

I've seen lot of race cars use these in conjunction with the triple mast setup for on the fly adjustability. The key is getting the right bore size and tuning with the balance bar then use the prop to make small adjustments per track. This one is in a c5 ls7 car that was at the mitty.

Damn Robert, I should have paid more attention to this kind of stuff while I was there! I didn't even think about looking at it..... I was too busy rolling my tongue back into my mouth every two or three seconds.... haha

PS. Was this the black C5 that was running in the same class as the C6R?
