Alrite guys
i was wondering if you can blank off the 2 upper pipes on the brake servo and route 2 new pipes from the servo. one going to the t-peice on either wing or is it more complicated than that? i would have thought this would be fine since theres a brake compensator on the back so it wouldnt lock the rear wheels up as soon as u touched the pedal?
cheers

 

i just put a pipe straight back into the reservoir which recircs the fluid and then connected to the t pieces as you have said. brakes work fine.

 

THATS EXACTLY HOW U DO IT M8 !

BLANK OFF THE 2 RETURN PIPES AND GET MADE UP 2 NEW PIPES TO EACH OF THE T PIECES TO EACH INNER WING!

IF U WANTED TO BE TECHNICAL GET A RESIVOIR OF A NON ABS MODEL XR3I THE PIPES ARE NOT ON THERE !

 

cozziepj i presume you are going to remove the ABS modulators?, and not just take the belts off?

 

great, yes im gonna remove all the abs its just a heavy waste of space

cheers guys

 

I will agree with you on that

 

I am wanting to remove the abs to so whats the best way to do it???

I am wanting to run hoses insted of pipes.

 

not sure about hoses but i removed my abs yesterday it was quite easy but takes a minute as you have to pop the shafts out to remove the belt drive and casing and ive got heaps of space at the back of the engine bay now, id imagine ud have to run hoses to the t peices as theres only 2 pipes from the servo.

 

Theres not much point in using hoses if the connect up to the standard pipes, if you change the whole let then it will be worthwhile. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

 

i would be changing the lot just not sure how to hose it up etc

 

As long as theres a pipe to each wheel it will work, but most systems are diagonally split, so from the 2 pipes of the master cylinder, 1 split in a T, going to front left and rear right, and the other outlet split in a T, doing front right and rear left. Simple as

A lot of people also remove the rear load apportioning valves aswell, common MOT failure and i believe it also improves the pedal feel.
