Check out SJM in the sponsor list. They have a kit for the ABS delete.

Madman,
Is it not recommended to use the stock master cylinder with a proportioning valve? This is the first I heard this.

I ran the Wilwood valve with a Hurst Line Lock from SJM & the stock master cylinder and never had a problem.

ive always used the wilwood one... it actually weighs less then the length of steel line it replaces.. lol.

the rear master cyl port controls the front brakes.. so it goes from the master cyl, to the line lock, then to a T with one line to each brake.


the front master cyl port controls the rear brakes.... so it goes from the master cyl, to the prop valve, then back to the rear brakes...

just make sure that under a panic stop, the fronts lock before the rears.. lol...
