PLASTIC, will not be plastic if brake pipes, be COATED METAL pipes that look like plastic though, just regular metal pipes, make some up.

Hes talking about the return pipes from the modulators, which are plastic!

Just get rid of the ABS mate, its shit anyway you'll be killing two birds with one stone

Cut a long story short, you fuck the modulators off, get a couple of brake pipes made up to patch up the loose ends where the modulators once connected to, and get a non ABS reservoir which doesnt have the return pipe connections

No pictures im afraid
