Tilton Firewall – Aluminum & Steel (98-1203) - Manual

Description
The Tilton Firewall-mount pedal assembly has been designed to provide the driver
with the greatest control and comfort from a swing-style pedal assembly. The 6.2:1
pedal ratio delivers the optimum pedal profile. Firewall-mount pedal assemblies
are NASCAR approved and the master cylinders must be mounted in the engine
compartment.
Welded steel pedals provide the strength and durability to handle the most severe
braking conditions. The pedal assembly is set up for dual brake master cylinders and
includes the balance bar assembly. The balance bar allows adjustment of the brake
pedal force distribution between the two master cylinders. This system can be used
to compensate for fuel load changes, tire wear, and changing track conditions.
The Remote Brake Bias Adjuster is also available as an option. This connects to the
balance bar and allows the driver to make balance bar adjustments quickly while on
track.
Fluid reservoirs can be directly mounted to the master cylinders or can be remotely
mounted based on your application. It is important to follow these setup instructions
closely to realize the benefits of this design.
installation notes
• Securing the pedal frame to a cross-member will greatly enhance the stability of
the pedal assembly.
• The mounting location should suit the driver and also provide a stable platform.
• Be sure that there is no binding during the full stroke of the master cylinders
when the pedal is depressed.
• The balance bar mechanism must clear all obstructions when the balance bar is
adjusted to the extreme right or left-of-center.
• If you have decided to remotely mount the reservoirs, select the location for the
reservoirs before starting installation.
• This is a gravity fed system, so the reservoirs must be located above the master
cylinders.
• Attention must be paid to the routing and location of the hydraulic lines. Avoid
heat sources such as exhaust pipes.
• Accurate clutch pedal setup is critically important. Improper clutch pedal instal-
lation and/or adjustment can result in expensive clutch damage and DNFs at the
track!
