Front master cylinder on the left, r ear master cylinder on the right. 11mm gap on the left, 7mm gap on the left. That’s too much rear bias.
We experimented with adjusting the brake bias at the 3rd race of the season last year. At the time, a mounting bracket forward of the front bulkhead that the pushrods go through did not have adequate space from side-to side. That lead to a misunderstanding on my part, thinking that the brake bias dial in the cockpit had limited range. We had expert friends help us grind away the mounting bracket and they fiddled with a few things that I don’t really understand. It helped the bias some but not totally. I dea lt with driving a car with too much rear bias for the rest of the season.
After closer inspection of the bias system today, it’s clear that the cockpit knob can indeed move the bias bar the full range, so that either clevis is touching the brake pedal. So it would have been entirely possible for me to move the brake bias forward on the warm up laps, after realizing that the track was becoming extremely slippery.

“11mm gap on the left, 7mm gap on the left.”
Yeah, but what's the gap on the right?

If you keep turning left have you not, in effect, turned right?

not on a screw or spiral.... only on a grid.

Neat! Is this sort of bias adjustment setup something you only find on racecars?

That’s the only application I’ve ever seen it on, I’m sure if there’s any other situation where a vehicle could benefit from it then they would use it too. If you look at the picture you’ll see a black cable going off picture to the right. That connects to a dial that I can use to turn the bias bar, changing how much leverage the pedal has over either master cylinder.
I can also adjust the front anti-roll bar from the cockpit.
