i use the Compbrake Bias Valve Screw Type V2 Knob Type it is ISO9001 Certified .. the body is alloy & excellent quality .. look on Compbrake site this type Bias Valve is about £40.
I have this Combrake Bias Valve fitted ( in easy to get at position ) on three cars in the supply line to Rear Brakes for the reason i have modified the Front brakes so not a standard set up.. easy to fine tune them to suit & my start set up is fully close the vale & then open two full turns that is about right & then fine tune rear braking effort from there .. be very careful as"if the rears lock up start again as the rear brake pressure is too high "
I have past experience with Brake Testing Vehicles at Mira & also have an ex army inertia brake test kit but the reality is .. i just find a straight quiet road & then set up the Compbrake valve to suit what i think is the best braking set up, as i just need the assurance the thing will stop in the shortest distance when needed & yes my Classic Insurance is declared to have with modified brakes ;
ps the rear std subframe valve is replaced with a "T" fitting.
