Default Series 2 abs removal how to ??

Hi am in the middle of removing the abs on my s2 rst. To date i have removed the master cylinder resevoir to one with no abs outlets on th eside of it and blanked off the 2 pipes from the abs pumps but since doing it the peddle has gone spungy as it is drawing in air from where ive blanked it off, i need to by pass the abs pumps so i need some pipe work, be it rubber or metal to fit the unions underneath to do the job properly any info much appreciated.

2 options.

Option 1.. Fit a non abs master cylinder and pipe up each wheel sperate from the master cylinder. (I have one for sale if needed)

Option 2.. Keep the abs master cylinder and fit a non abs resevior (like you have done) Remove the abs pumps and pipe work to the front wheel arches. Pipe in 2 new pipes from the master cylinder to each of the wheel arch 3 way connector.

i am also looking into this, does this make the brakes any better, i have cossie 2wd front discs and calipers on mine and i think it just looks messy with the abs on the gearbox and also is a pain apperntly if you need to change the clutch, as you would need new piping could u put the non abs brake master cylinder and and resivoir and the pipework from the non abs rs turbo set up or is this not possible, thanks for any help.
