INTRODUCTION
Tilton Remote Cable Adjusters are designed to attach to the balance bar used in the
Tilton pedal assemblies and allows the driver or crew to adjust the brake bias quickly
and accurately during competition.
The remote cable adjuster comes with a 6-foot cable that may be cut to length for
your application. The finger-grooved, non-slip adjustment knob allows a good grip
during adjustment. The adjustment knob has spring-loaded detents for vibration
resistance and will hold the set adjustment in place during the toughest conditions.
The mounting hole location drawing provided makes the installation a breeze.
Installation notes
• Select a location that allows the driver or crew to make adjustments easily.
• Trial route the cable from the knob to the balance bar on the brake pedal.
• Route the cable so it does not interfere with the driver’s feet, other pedals or
other equipment in all pedal positions.
• The cable routing and length should allow all of the curves in the cable to have a
6" minimum bend radius to prevent binding and excessive wear.
• The cable should be shortened to the appropriate length for your application.
• Never try to adjust the brake balance while applying the brakes. Always adjust
the brake balance when the pedal is in a relaxed state.
• You can swap the balance bar shaft around in the pedal assembly if you need to
attach the cable from the opposite side of the pedal. Make sure that the clevis
center-to-center distance is maintained.
INSTALLATION
1. Select the mounting location and trial fit the Remote Cable Assembly to note any
obstructions for the routing of the cable.
2. When satisfied with the location, refer to Drawing 1 and mark the center hole
and the four (4) mounting holes.
3. Refer to Drawing 1 and cut or punch a 1.50" hole in the center location, this will
allow the cable to pass through and the mounting plate to sit flush on the panel.
4. Drill the four mounting holes using a 1/8" drill bit.
5. Trial fit the mounting plate into position and verify that it fits properly.
6. Using a 1/8" hex key, loosen the setscrew that holds the adjustment knob in
place.
7. Remove the adjustment knob while being careful not to lose the nylon plunger
and spring.
8. Tighten the nut that holds the mounting sleeve onto the mounting plate.
9. Install the mounting plate into the prepared mounting location with the mount-
ing plate being on the driver’s side of the panel.
10. Use #4 or 3 mm screws with the appropriate length for your application. Use
locknuts to prevent loosening from vibration.
11. Slide the cable through the mounting sleeve from the backside of the panel.
12. Slide the knob onto the cable end shaft and align the flat side of the cable end
with the knob setscrew.
13. Make sure that the nylon plunger and spring are in place correctly.
14. Allow for a slight gap between the mounting sleeve and the knob to
prevent rubbing when the knob is rotated.
