My ABS removal project (large pictures)
First, I drew up and then fabbed this bracket in the prototype shop at work:
It holds the stock proportioning valve like this:
And hangs the valve under the master cylinder like so:
I bought another stock FD rear brake line splitter to split the line going to the two front wheels, since a tee for this size brake line is nearly impossible to find. I made a bracket for it as well, and mounted it like so and plumbed everything up:
There are a few clips I need to make and install to keep the lines from vibrating in a few places. Comments and questions are welcome...

Probably not for any logical reason.
I did not have a functional ABS pump on hand and didn't want to bother with finding/buying one. The stuff I needed to delete ABS altogether...the lines and splitter, only cost me about $60. So I went ahead and did it. I still have all the ABS lines so I can go back someday if I find a deal on a pump.

I think deleting my abs was the best thing that ever happened to my FD. When I auto-x'd my car with abs it seemed that it would come on to early for my taste. I noticed a huge difference in brake control after I deleted my abs. In my opinion FD abs sucks, so I would say nice idea.

If you are truly going to remove your ABS, there's the heavy ABS Unit in the driver side rear panel area. I was hoping you would've elaborated more on that removal process in this project. But apparently it wasn't a full blown abs elimination project, more of an abs pump failure, work around.
