Anyone know the size & thread of the brake hard line fittings off the top of their head? Want to get some Tee pieces so I can junk the ABS.

I should know this as I snapped my hard brake line last year and had to make up a new set myself........erm......leave it with me! I will find out. Still got the old bits in my tool box.

Why remove the ABS?

It's heavy and doesn't work with bigger callipars very well. And I'm a bit of a purist.

You might find that the MOT testers won't accept it. Ran the idea past my mechanic and he says don't do it.

Paul C, any thoughts ?

How would an MOT test determine if the ABS had been removed? Assuming you take the warning bulb out lol

 

Should lose a bit more weight John... is it true that you and Nelson are actually the same person, I mean - I've never seen you in the same room at the same time :eek:

They SHOULD test the tell tale light, comes on with ignition, goes out when ABS unit does its stuff...still MOT testers arent always the sharpest...

Still a bad idea, not safe.

.....and there's the small question of insurance. Better ask first if you must do it.
