De-ABSing the FD

I just deleted my ABS also, and kept the stock proportioning valve because I'm about to switch to RZ brakes (aka, a larger, thicker, stock brake system).

First of all, DAMMIT! I removed all my ABS sensors from the wheels, and I remember reading the Adaptronic can do a form of traction control, but I'm not sure if it would use those sensors as a reading so it may be alright lol.

I had gotten a delete kit from Alex Rodriguez, but a local guy did his with seamless copper line from Advance Auto parts and used the stock proportioning valve (and since I'm sticking with a form of stock brakes, I wanted to do mine like that too instead of an aftermarket valve), so I copied his setup. Well, almost. Mine is a little different. Like him, I made a mount to mount the valve directly under the master cylinder, but I mounted mine at a different angle. Here are some pics...

Here is the mount...

And here are some pics of how it's mounted. I remade some of these lines and replaced some fittings already because I had a problem with it leaking, but I think it's good now.

I ran the line to the passenger front under the crush rail so you can't see it.

I rebent the front lines coming into the bay from the wheel wells so they could meet up with the lines I made.

The lines that I remade look better because I used a tubing bender and got the bends a lot tighter and cleaner, but I don't have any pics of it now. I can take some if you want.
