Brake pipe routing with manual bias valve
#9
I think if your brakes fail regardless you're screwed, if one side goes the pedal would go to the floor? No?
If there is fluid escaping and you're braking, you're pushing the fluid out like you're bleeding them. The system is unsealed and there's no pressure to be exerted against the piston calipers

I've had 1 caliper hose split (on a diagonally split system) and the pedal went straight to the floor.
I honestly think it's a load of garbage. If you're losing fluid the pedal WILL go to the floor no matter what.


On my 205 I ran the front brakes separate (using a port each on the MC) and for the rear I ran one line to the bias valve then tee'd off after to each rear wheels. I used a blanking plug for the last port (being a 4 port master cylinder) System worked very well, no issues. I ran that for over 3 years.

No it wasn't dangerous and please don't start slagging off if you haven't actually had personal experience of this.
