how easy is it to remove abs on a s2????

turbo.jon

easy get all lines&fluid resivour from a mk 4 escort without abs or just rip it all out get some pipe made up to go from servo ends to the 3 way valves in each inner wing. or just cut the belts ive just used all bits from a diff car as with other 1s the rear end can lock up easy but its up to u

Im getting mine fully removed soon, i have rear discs, now im worried back end is guna lock up

BODGE

adam i've had a few with rear disc's now and you really have to slam on for the rear to lock up

as for the ABS rip out all the pumps, brackets, and brake lines, then make up 2 new line to go from the master cylinder to each T on the inner wings, you will need an XR3I res bottle

Mark, thanks for that.

I have also been told you can use original res bottle by linking the pipes between the ports?

i used some mondeo brake pressure reducing valves ( you can just see them in the pic on my master cylinder. i have rear discs and they locked up very easily !! not anymore though . ( fiesta rs turbo by the way, i removed the abs completely, including the compensators on the back and replaced the master cylinder and all lines )
