Can anyone help me with regards to setting up the brake bias on pedal box I have a titon pedal box.
I'm basically trying to find out if there's a need for an inline brake proportioning/limiting valve? I'm a bit new to all this, the main reason I wanted the pedal box and master cylinders inside is to free up some space in the engine bay. The pedal box I have comes with a knob for adjusting the brake bias.. Is this effectively the same as a brake proportioning/limiting valve?
i'm going to be running 7.5" front discs with alloy 4pots and standard rear brakes but with minifins and verto RTS clutch. The master cylinder sizes I have are:
Front 5/8 .625
Rear and clutch 3/4 .725
Which I was advised by the person I bought the pedal box from.
All I want is the brake balance to be the same as a standard mini, with the master cylinder sizes I have can I achieve this? And without the need for a brake proportioning/limiting valve?
Thanks in advance!

In short, yes the bias valve you have with the pedal box will do the job of an inline one
The difference being the bias in the pedal box just adjusts the percentage of pressure that each pedal gets, whereas an inline valve limits the pressure to the rear only.
From the measurements I took for my pedal box, the master cylinders you have should be perfect for what you need.
Just be careful with the bias valve as they can be quite twitchy. I'd reccommend testing on a quiet/closed road and then removing the adjuster totally to save you messing with it needlessly

I still fitted one as I can still just turn my rear wheels when hard on the brakes. (But mine is a full track car mini miglia)

So benjy, whats your setup? are you running an inline valve? And how are your brakes?
And summs, so your saying even though you adjusted your brake bias, you werent happy so you fitted an inline valve?
The main thing Im concerned about is having my brake balance different to that of a standard mini brake set up, which I don't want
