You have left the valves on the rear that cut the brake pressure if the rears are not adjusted properly, would it not be wise to remove these with ABS since they will stop fluid going to the rears under certain conditions. You dont need them now you have discs anyway.



you still need these as the mgf has one aswell but has a single line running from it to rear brakes otherwise the rear brakes would lock if you have too much pressure going to them

i have left these on and teed in before them samr principle as mgf


Surely the rear brakes locking is part of how ABS works? The ABS will make the decission about pressure to the rear. Dont remember seeing one on the F when I was looking into an ABS conversion.


think youll find out that the mgf does have a compensater valve fitted at the front of the car linked to the rear brakes
look on the rover epc in the brakes section and youll find it

regarding pressure from the abs unit , this only puts the pressure to the brakes that you let it and will take over once they lock so cant see there being a problem

ive put a lot of thought into this and i dont think it will be a problem

Very impressed with the fitting of abs. So easy to lock up the metros wheels even with 195s.

Fairly f**kin impressive this Daz.
Just wondering if youre gonna be removing the wheels on one side of your car at MGM this year...
Seems a shame not to show off all this graft


Do you even have a day job BTW? This journal is moving along at some real pace of late...
