abs and brake upgrade

[projectrs2k]

YOU CAN KEEP ABS

 

if you have already fitted the 300mm discs to the front then you still have abs as you are only drilling out the size of two holes on esch hub to 12mm no need to play with the abs at the front

 

as for the back you will have to have the hubs machined to fit the abs ring and sensors for the escort as the focus set up works differently to the escort

 

any good machinist will do this for you its just a matter of how much they will charge you

 

all you have to do is drill the sensor hole out to 15mm and get the hub spindle machined down by 5mm i think (do not hold me to that) so the escort abs ring will fit

Machine the ring to an interference fit (Machinist will do this) ... Have him machine down the sides by 7mm. (DON NOT MACHINE ANY FROM THE OVERALL HEIGHT!!!!!!)

For the ABS sensor well maybe 14.5mm would be better as its a tighter fit.

right front setup sorted so focus hubs wont be a direct fit case of getting them machined so would i be better off with whole beam off a focus with abs for all parts that i need Edited February 24, 2010 by escrt1.4i
