remove all abs, modulators, belts and pipes and throw it away. fit a brake fluid reservoir from another model or seal off the old pipes. run two new brake lines from master cylinder to t-pieces on each inner wing. job done.

hope this helps guys... get rid of all the junk and add the red coloured pipework

I never changed the res... just used fluid hose and looped it back... so it just recirculates.



Kind regards,
GUM

i did mine when engine and box were out but if doing it with engine and box in then i would imagine you would have to pop the shafts out of the box yes.
