Rear Bias Adjuster

["Garcia, Andrew G" <Andrew_Garcia@domain.elided>]

	No, You could lessen the rear bias with a full load and increase
rear bias as you burn off the fuel. 

	The compensator on a Milano ( non -ABS ) really keeps the rear
brakes from working. Ever wonder why a early GTV6 brakes some 	much better
than a later GTV6/Milano with the same brakes? Alfa's answer to using up the
rear pads was to decrease the braking force 	of the rear brakes on later
cars.

Don't you mean *decrease* in rear brake force with a light fuel load?
Anyway, I've thought about this re: the older GTV6, and if my 
regulator fails I might very well do it--nothing fancy--put it in the 
same place and stick the knob through the floor--flip the seat up to 
adjust.  I've seen a Wilwood part that looks like it would to the job 
pretty well.  The Milano is a little more complicated, but when I 
replaced that part on my friend's Milano this past summer, I was 
pretty sure I had it all figured out.  I was tempted to put a really 
long extension on the knob of such a device and drill through the 
firewall and have it sticking out of above (below) those buttons, 
opposite the dimmer thingy.  Needless to say, that didn't happen.  Do 
let me know if anyone actually does this, I'd like to know how well 
it works.
