Default Abs alternatives on a 2wd??

Tha abs system on my 2wd Cossie has always played up, light on brake pedal juddering etc. it went to a specialist with previous owner but was still faulty. Now I've rebuilt the car and fitted big brakes I don't want this playing up again, plus I've lost and damaged sensor throughout the rebuild!
I've read some people just use the master cylinder and by pass the abs, is this worth doing? If so how do u go about doing it, I.e. wiring, brake pipe work etc.

Someone on here makes wiring looms for the abs pumps.

The kick back on the pedal could be a faulty sensor or muck/grease on the pick up rings.

It's very simple to do, you can just simply disconnect a connector from the M/C!

However you must remember that without the ABS it will not pass an MOT!

Which connector? I wanted to do it properly really. I read a thread on here once and there was a guide on how to do it but I can't find it now! Isn't the mot issue just a case of taking the bulb out of clocks?

Yep and in the correct sequence, there are numerous bodges people do, such as wiring it to another warning light so it extinguishes with it, but any decent tester would figure this out.

There is a 3 pin connector on the M/C.
