Hi all.

I thought it better to post in the 3rd gen section because some of you guys and gals might know what I'm on about. Anyway I'm putting S8 front brakes and S5 (FC3S) rear brakes on my Gen 1. I've also fitted a 2000 model FD3S brake booster and master cylinder on my gen 1. What I need to know is what do you do with the master when the ABS is removed? There's only 2 ports on the master so connection to the brakes in a non-ABS fashion is difficult. The master needs to have a 3rd port. I know the rear brakes are always tee'd off the single rear port, but can I do the same to the front brakes? It would seem a simple thing to just add a tee and run either side off to each front brake calliper. I'll throw a proportioning valve in the rear line. Stock one or custom?

Simple or no? What do you guys do when ABS is removed? I've read the threads and they all just talk about modifying existing lines. And seeing as how I don't have an FD3S (yet) I'm not sure where they're running their lines to. I'd say the line off the front of the master is the front line. The one off the rear most post can go straight to the rear brake line. Have I got this around the right way? Finally, is there a non-ABS master for FD3S?

And yes I'm competent enough to play with brakes. I've just never encountered an ABS system before. I simple schematic is all I need. Is this close (see below)?

Thanks

Chris.
