    Master Cylinder Refurb or Pedal Bias Box

    Hey,

    my standard master cylinder has begun to play up, seals are done, no rear brakes. Is it better to get it refurbished or fit a pedal bias box? The car will be driven hard on the road, but cannot see it being tracked or rallyed any time soon.
    Any advice on which direction to go?

    ive fitted many a bias pedal box, but if you ask me in a road car best stick to standard master cylinder and servo set up

    Guys,

    I finally got my refurbished dual circuit Master Cylinder back and plan to refit tonight. I have a question on refitting it, does it matter which outlet port is connected to which set of brakes (front or rear)?

    yes it does, i know that for sure because my mate connected his up wrong, get it the wrong way round and you will have a lot of rear brake bias, it will want to swap ends braking in the wet
