Hi Guys,

I have developed a kit that will allow you to remove your ABS system without any cutting or drilling. It would strictly be a bolt in kit and I will try and make it as affordable as possible. Im just trying to find out how much interest there is before I start mass producing them. Any feedback you have is greatly appreciated.

explain the kit, and some pics of the kit would get my attention.

 

In all honesty, and greatest respects to you for creating a new product, but I can't see you selling very many of these.

Really, ABS removal is not a very big market. As well, those who are into taking on something so complicated, usually would tend to simply do the removal themselves, rather than buy a home-made kit. Yes, there will be those without the knowledge to do so and would buy some, but I can't see any form of "mass production" being required.

RX-7 owner's tend to work on their own vehicles. Hydraulic plumbing is one of those thigns anyone who's taken off a master cylinder can do.

Really, the only parts that I see being bought from a home mechanic would be those os which require special skills or special tools to make. And honestly, some brass fittings and brake lines aren't them.

Even professional companies, who could sell the kist for less than it would cost to make them (since they get supplier discounts), would probably have a problem such a kit. But the fact that shipping pre-formed steel hoses through the mail would already double the cost of parts alone would be a turn-off for people, and that's with no profit to you.

I congratulate you on your idea and attempts to bring new products into this hobby, but I think your efforts will be more productive for yourself if you focus on another product idea. I don't mean to dump on you, as I have considered selling the exact same thing, but thrown out the idea for the exact same reasons listed above.

This is feedback alone, as was asked for, and only meant as constructive criticism.

Plus just imagine the liability issues, let's say a fitting you sold breaks (maybe if you're using SAE 3/16 fittings instead of the correct M10x1.0).. I'd skip this one man.

but on that subject.. how hard is it to remove it?

 

I dunno, but why would it be good to remove it?

 

If you don't like the feel, or to save room/lose weight.

By the way, if you don't mass produce em, I may be interested in one anyway, cause I was about to do this on my car but the tube flaring and bending and stuff its kinda complicated and I'd rather have a bolt on. How much you think it would cost?

 

Im gonna agree here. Thats a lot riding on your shoulders!

 

Why dont people just go with the standard brake system. Its not very time consuming and the parts are readily available. I just put an 87 na master/ and lines.
The brakes feel great.

 

how much did that cost ya?

 

Because mine doesn't work correctly, and it's taking up way too much space in my engine bay that I could be using to remove my piece of crap useless ACV.

 

my abs unit leaked more than the valdez tanker. so my got yanked and converted to normal.

now I need a break bias adjuster
