Default ABS REMOVAL

Ive removed the abs on my S2 and ive reconnected all of the pipes, however im not sure of the best way to block up the two plastic pipes cuming out of the sides of the brake reservoir,for now ive just got sum metal rod and jubilee clips of them but id like a more permanent fix! or isit possible to change the reservoir for one off an escort without abs,whats the best option?

You connect each output of the master cylinder to each t-connection on the inside of the front wings. Shane, can't you use a reservoir from a non abs master cylinder?

As above use a reservoir off a non ABS car.

Or failing that, join the pipes together with a piece of rubber pipe and some jusbilee clips.
