You don't need photo bucket, just upload pics from pc to the forum? Hit the yellow box with the mountain in it. Look for the bold b, then count 14 along.

Yes mate very good and very simple to wire up . You will need just one ABS censer in a front hud so it can read the wheel speed off the ABS ring . Just wire up the two yellow wires straight onto the wires off the ABS plug job done .
