I wouldn't recommend using a t-peice for the front brakes.

A non ABS master cylinder has 2 outlets for the front, one for left and one for right. This gives the required force and pressure for the larger front brakes.

It also means that if you damage a brake line or have a leak you don't loose front braking completely as you would using a t-peice/splitter.

so basically i nead 2 get a non abs master cylinder and job done,

well after bleading out brakes etc

is the brake servo the same in an abs system 2 a non abs system?


wats the story then with disconnecting the abs module will that show up on the dash abs light ?

You need the non abs master cylinder and non abs brake pipes, or else get some made up. Cheap enough to get done.

The servo is the same and yes the abs light will be on but you can just remove the bulb.

All of the above is just if you want the whole system gone for weight reasons.
You could just pull out the ABS fuse and you'll have no ABS.
