IVA and brakes

Hi everyone. Been registered for some time but I don't think I've posted yet.

90% complete Locost with self designed IRS and Ford CVH 1,6 modified. (3 years!)

IVA and braking. The standard IS different from SVA. Brake balance bars must be welded not just pinned. Bias valves, even if not accessible by driver (e.g. in engine bay) are NOT permitted.

So what do we do?

Does anyone know - is there a master cylinder which gives the right pressure outputs to front/rear to give the right bias for a 7 clone??

Any other ideas?

I suspect a lot of people will have locked bars that are just replaced with a completely adjustable one after IVA.

It's a pointless rule to begin with IMO and tightening it up isn't going to fix any perceived problem.
