GT40: SPF P2133

Rep Power: 5 minerl has a spectacular aura about
SPF GT Brake Bias Bar Lock

“Most” SPF GT-40s are delivered WITHOUT a lock nut on the brake bias bar. When I say most, I mean every car delivered to date as far as I've seen. This can be a serious problem. The bias bar on P2133 had no friction preventing it from moving left or right due to road vibrations. After a few hundred miles the bar moved left to the point where there was much more emphasis on the rear brakes than the front greatly reducing the braking efficiency of the car. This is a simple fix. Acquire a 10mm fine thread Nylock nut and thread it on to the bias bar and lock it against the rod end that extends to the master cylinder. See photo below.
