Hello! I' m Lee from South Korea.
Actually, I'm in charge of brake system for 2015 FSAE. I have several questions about vertical mounted master cylinder.
In last competition, I saw that many teams installed vertical mounted master cylinder for Pedal system.
My team will also use bearing mounted master cylinder which is 77 series one from Tilton engineering to reduce overall length of pedal box.
But, I wonder how I can get pedal ratio.
When using vertical mounted master cylinder, balance bar should be installed upward. From that, I got 3.29 of pedal ratio. I think it's not enough for braking force.
Could you guys give me an advice of pedal ratio for vertical mounted master cylinder? I calculated 3.7 by looking over the following thesis.

I wonder that those calculating method is right or not.
Thanks.
