Tilton Premium Bias Adjuster (98-1271) - Manual

Tilton’s Billet 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. Everything on the adjuster has been optimized for function, durability, and of
course weight. Using a cross action spring-loaded dual detent system, we created a smooth-
er, more precise, and longer lasting part. The unit can be easily taken apart for inspection or
cleaning and re-assembled as shown in the Technical section. A single mounting hole allows
for simple installation.
InstallatIon notes
• Select a location that allows the driver or crew to make adjustments easily.
• 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 inch
minimum bend radius. In general, fewer and larger radius bends allow more precise
movement.
• The cable should be shortened to the appropriate length for your application.
• Never try to adjust the brake balance while applying the brakes, since a loaded balance
bar will not turn. 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.
InstallatIon
1. Select a mounting location that allows the driver and crew to make adjustments easily
and trial fit the Remote Cable Adjuster Assembly to note any obstructions for the routing
of the cable.
2. When satisfied with a location, refer to Diagram 6 for the ideal shape of the hole. A “D”
shape hole helps to keep the remote adjuster from rotating if the retaining nut ever
becomes loose.
3. Debur the mounting hole and temporally install the Remote Cable Adjuster
using the supplied 5/8" retaining nut.
4. Route the cable so it does not interfere with the driver’s feet, other pedals or other com-
ponents in all pedal positions.
5. Make sure all curves in the cable have a 6-inch minimum bend radius
(in general, fewer and larger bends allow more precise movement).
6. Mark the end of the cable where it needs to be cut to length and move the Remote Cable
Adjuster Assembly from the vehicle to a clean workbench.
7. Remove the black sleeve from the cable before brazing. This will
prevent melting the sleeve.
8. Braze the cable at the cutting point before cutting. This will prevent fraying of the cable
end.
9. Cut the cable to length at the brazed point in the cable.
10. Slip the (black) plastic sleeve onto the cable and cut it to a length 0.50" shorter than the
cable length.
11. Re-install the Remote Cable Adjuster Assembly in the vehicle and tighten the retaining
nut to 15 lb-ft (using thread locking compound). Do Not Over Tighten.
12. Thread the jam nut included in the kit onto the hex broached or longer end of the bal-
ance bar shaft.
