View Full Version : pic request - nova with corsa bias box
Im after some pics of novas with corsa bias pedal boxes fitted.
I am having clearance issues fitting mine as if i have the cylinders facing the front of the car they foul the air filter,
When i turn the box round so they face rearwards i have clearance issues with the reservoirs and the wiper assembly.
Im hoping i can get away with using remote reservoirs, has anyone else done this?

I don't have any pics but on my old pedal box their wasn't much room so i mounted the to reservoirs on the strut brace and ran braided brake hose down from reservoirs to the m/c. Would doing something similar sort your problem?

Austin, what make is that Bias box? Compbrake?
i would say it is, it looks the same as mine
the problem i have is im running a c20xe with 45mm jenveys and then using 90mm trumpets and a pipercross c6004 filter,
on a quick mock up it looks as though the filter will completly foul on the most inboard of the cylinders,
My theory is that as the link arm exits vertically through the centre of the hole down to the corsa pedal i should be ok to rotate the pedal box through 180 degrees so the cylinders point backwards and then use remotely mounted reservoirs,
can anyone see a problem with doing this?

looking at that pic of oli's my filter sits back another 40-50mm at a guess so i think i am going to have to suck it and see with rotating the bias box and if theres a problem i'll have to modify the pedal linkage accordingly
