From the driver's seat, is the front master on the left or right?

On mine, the front cylinder is the middle of the three.

Thanks mine is the same. I was replacing my bias adjuster cable. (Note: Wilwood has a very nice knob with firm 90 degree detents so you can adjust bias in "clicks".)

So, with the bias adjuster coming off the right side of the balance bar, a clockwise turn of the adjuster moves the bias FORWARD (confirmed when I put it all together this morning). It would have been easier to remember "righty = rear" but I'll try to keep it straight. :roll:

My adjuster is on my driver's left Greg and unless I have been doing it wrong my clockwise adjustment puts the bias toward the front. If that is correct and the way some adjusters are setup on driver's right, you would be doing the same to your bias. Hope that helps! Remember we are never bias, we are truly objective in our class... :lol:
