Hi
Thanks for all the comments , as most Trad owners will know, braking in dry conditions is not an issue as the set up is pretty much ok and fairly well balanced. However driving in the wet is a totally different kettle of fish.
Driving in the wet requires an egg between the throttle pedal , otherwise the back end is twitching all the time & so it is with the braking , I’ve had a few scary moments when braking in the wet, it’s far too easy to lock up all 4 wheels at relatively low speeds & light brake pedal pressure . I think that by reducing the rear brake pressure to the rear wheels (as with most cars ) the bias will be transferred to the front wheels this will result in better control & the front wheels requiring a good bit more force before they lock up.
I was thinking of mounting the proportioning/bias valve alongside the battery isolation switch. The brakes I am installing are indeed the Mulfab ones, I would have been changing everything anyway . So why not all the reviews I’ve read about the Mulfab brakes has been positive .
I informed my insurance company when I tweaked the engine they simply increased the premium by the same percentage as the power increase , so I imagine for brakes they will simply make a note on the policy & charge an admin fee.
