ABS on Cosworth
Hi Would there be a way to put in a switch so you would be able to turn the ABS off and stille be able to brake without overbraking on the rear ?? Or if not would I be able to make the brakes work without the ABS ?? and if yes ... how ??

You can switch off the ABS by disconnecting the connector on the fluid reservoir.
I have been driving like that for something like 20 years now. You'll get used to the warning light very soon. After a little while you don't even notice it.
Don't forget to reconnect before the MOT, and disconnect afterwards.

No problems on my cars. I even tried it with a 2wd during an anti-skid training on a very slippery track. The front locked up, the rear didn't.
The advantage of this method is that you can try it without any damage to the system. Once you've tried it, you'll never connect it again, with the exception of the MOT.
There are 2 connectors on the fluid reservoir. The one on the outside is the normal connector for low fluid detection, the one on the inside is the ABS connector. (Assuming you have a left-hand driven car.)
