your first setence doesn't make sense. Do you mean you don't have ABS and trying to find a way to connect the lines? If so this is what you need, or at least what I did. You can buy stainless braided brakes lines -4an an just about any legnth. To connect those lines to your stock lines (one from the master cylinder, and one to the brake caliper) you need brake adapters that go from 10x1.25 female to -4an male.

For the front brakes you will probably need to split the lines right after the master cylinder.

You can find all parts you need at summit racing

What kind of car do you have? Does it have ABS now? Do you want to remove the ABS? Is the reason you want to remove the ABS because the ABS unit is leaking? Would you like to use parts from the same model of car that did not come with ABS to elminiate the ABS on your car? Do you feel comfortable modifying your braking system if you are not able to choose the parts you need off of a diagram?

if you want to take the ABS unit out the dealer is not going to be able to help you, or at least they won't have your part. What you're doing now is something the dealers will have no part in. The cheapest thing for you to do is get some SS brake lines, buy or rent a double flare kit and go to work on it. Or you can do what I did and convert the lines to -4an fittings and get some -4an braided lines
