ABS Alternatives?

We all know it. The ABS sytem is not the most attractive piece under the hood. Many remove it or cover it up.

Has anyone figured out either an alternative ABS system or a relocation?

Many remove it because it's not attractive????? That's a 1st.

An alternative would be to cut two holes in the floor in front of the driver's seat.

In panic stop situations you would Fred Flintstone it. The ABS parts comes into play when your feet get too hot you lift them up. Cheap & effective

I polished it and the bracket that holds it and the heat sheld .My son turned three press on covers that cover the top bango bolts ,and polished them . And the mounting bolts are SS allen heads . Any old pictures of the car will show the thing painted silver as I did this about 6 mo ago .It looks way better than when it was painted .

At first I painted mine silver ,now it is polished with the three coils painted silver .My son made three alum round covers to cover the top bango bolts .The mounting is polished as is the heat shield and the valve on the front attached to the silver powercoated bracket .I polished it several months ago and any of the picts on the forum will be of it painted .It looks way better polished than when it was painted .Some people noted , at the Hunters show ,it was better looking than others they had seen .
