Tonk Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 i'm looking at different brake master cylinders for defenders, i think some are 50/50 biased and some are 60/40 biased to the front, i've found some part numbers, NRC8690 and NRC9529 but i cant tell which bias they are, anyone help? TIA Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 just to bump this to the top and maybe open it up for discussion a bit more. these were both fitted to early defenders, would the 60/40 split master be more likely to fit a short wheel base vehicle or long?

FridgeFreezer Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My guess would be the 50/50 would be LWB as it has more weight over the back axle (and higher load rating) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRC8690 is for 110's NRC9529 is for 90's EPC doesn't tell if these have a braking bias as you have noted above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 ta, that's one step closer i'm thinkin fridge is probably right about the biasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Im betting on 50/50 Tonk, you could hook the Rangie brake bias valve on but it barely knocks the dust of the bias rate - I chucked a variable bias valve on petal to get it right in the end (much less hassle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 i dont want to introduce a separate bias, i just want to change the master from wot i've got (50/50) to a 60/40 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
