    Wilwood remote brake bias adjuster

    I decided to install a remote brake bias adjuster on my build, I am not sure how much I will actually use it but definitely will be a "nice to have" item. I do not think my brakes are adjusted 100% properly right now, so I am planning on fine tuning as I begin to drive the car. I ended up going with the Wilwood brake adjuster knob and Tilton 90 degree 3/8-24 adaptor. If you choose to do this the only modification is the Wilwood inner cable is too large and will not fit into the Tilton adaptor without enlarging the hole. Not really a big deal but I am sure the Tilton bias adjuster would fit without modification.

    I tried initally to install without the 90 degree adaptor and it was not going to work. There is just not enough room on either end of the bias adjuster, for a clean install you definitely need the over priced Tilton fitting and they are definitely proud of that little sucker!

    I mounted the knob on the right side under the dash, I chose this spot because it is easily accessible when driving, cant really be seen when car is on the ground and does not interfere with driving or getting in and out the car. It seems to be turning easy with no binding and a smooth operation. I did have to move my inertia switch over to make it fit (just realized I have to put a rivet in that hole)





    I routed the cable up under the dash



    I added a pillow clamp to hold the cable and keep it away from every coming near the Forte throttle linkage
