Title: Tilton twin cylinder brake pedal with balance bar
Post by: hayesey on April 10, 2012, 09:16:36 PM
bought this a while ago off Yoof but am coming to the conclusion that I'm never going to get round to fitting it and I need some money!

Everything is there to use it.  It is second hand but in very good condition indeed.  

I'm after what I paid for it which is £170 + postage (probably about a tenner to mainland UK).  Or local pickup in North Manchester (evenings/weekends) or Huddersfield (weekdays).

It has been kept in the house so not subjected to cold temperatures or anything that could damage the master cylinder seals.

cheers,
Paul.

advantages well, for one it wont break like the standard polo pedal boxes are prone to doing.  And then there is the balance bar which means you can individually set the braking pressure going to each cylinder.  you'd plumb it in so that one does the front brakes and one does the rears.  Then you can have proper bias adjustment.  You can also buy dash mounted dials that attach to the balance bar so you can adjust the bias using that whilst on the move.

I will definitely fit something like this to my polo but it seems unlikely to happen for another year so I'd rather just let this go for now.
