Hello. I need to install a front and rear wheel ABS speed sensors/trigger wheels so that I can use the traction control in my standalone. I have an '87 T2 that didn't come with ABS- is it possible to add the factory trigger wheels to a non-ABS car? Or are the hubs/spindles different?

On a side note- if it does fit and anyone has some ABS trigger wheels and sensors sitting around- I am in need of a couple.

Thanks

Adding ABS to a non-ABS car is a very pricey and extensive task. I haven't even heard of anyone attempting it, and I personally wouldn't bother either.

it aint no thing, just a buncha parts you need to get. why dont you just install them in the rear? only 2 wheels that are going to be connected to the engine.

I'm not installing ABS on a non-ABS car- I'm just installing an ABS sensor/trigger wheel on a driven wheel, and another one on a non-driven wheel.

Does anyone know if the mounting holes for the ABS trigger wheel/sensor are present on hubs/spindles from a non-ABS car?

Thanks

I would say no since ABS wasn't an option until later. There would be no reason for the mounting holes to exist.

Thanks very much for the reply- I'll just have a friend fab up trigger wheels.

What a bunch of morons...

To install the ABS sensor, you need the hubs also.
I dunno if you access for a set of hubs, but these are not easy to find.

thanks for the reply- I was guessing that I'd need a set of different hubs which would be hard to track down. And I haven't had any luck finding the necessary ABS parts so I'm just going to fab up what I need.

thanks

Maybe fire off a thread in the parts forum.
Many like I have pulled the ABS when the pump started leaking.
The are probably some donor chassis around.

I actually just found a yard that will sell the whole hub assembly for $65/corner which works out pretty well. I sent out a WTB earlier for the ABS parts but no response.

Thanks

Pretty sure the holes and mount points are there.

I'll set the record straight on this when the items arrive next week.

Thanks
