3 channel to 4 channel rearend swap with a twist... I currently have a 3 channel 10 bolt in my car. Found a guy who will swap me rears (I want his gears and he wants mine), but his is a 4 channel. Normally it seems that there would be modification required, but under my circumstances, would it be just a direct swap?
I don't need ABS or TCS, and my speedometer is running off the front wheels. I'm not worried about mph recalibration, that's a simple 2 minute change. With that said, will I need to even change anything else? If I'm going without ABS/TCS, can't I just omit the whole drill a new sensor in, since I won't be using the ABS/TCS anyway?
And yes I searched, but the swaps I read about, they were wanting to retain ABS

I was lucky enough (4 channel) to be able to actually remove the wires and not have to tie them up....not sure how the (3 channel) are run ....either way you should have no problem swapping them out.

Got the 4 channel rear now. I see it has two rubber-like brake lines instead of just one. Can I just form a T with them and connect that to my original single brake line that runs to the rear?
