Am I the only one that finds that very exciting Phillpot!
Sorry haven't got one but I'd like one.
I assume that's adjustable from within the car/ or maybe not?
Does that just sit in line and you made an adjustment then test etc

That's ok on a pucker race car but for a road car ??? Law????
Am I on another tangent and got the wrong part!
That's not the brake pressure adjuster is it.
I'm sick of asking stupid questions I'm off to order a bible.

It's the standard Bias valve (fitted in pipe to rear brakes) on all Chimaera and Griffiths I believe?

Just thought someone may have one "spare" after fitting something more sophisticated for track-days / competition use scratchchin

As I understand it the V8S had a ball operated valve like this....



The V6 S's had a similar but different ball valve and then a valve like in my first post was used on later cars.

I really should re cap before waffling.
Things just come into my head!
Then straight out again, and on like that.
And now I'll ask all the same questions again when I open another thread!
