Retro fitting abs

[Jozi]

Just for anyone in future who might be searching how to do this.

The abs loom is seperatr to the main body loom but what I only discovered at the weekend is that under the rear bench non-abs shells are missing an extra set of holes, one either side, for the loom to pass through.

Ill try get some pics of the differences next weekend

That is the LEAST of your problems ! Struts are incompatible, as are front wheel bearings, rear trailing arms and rear driveshafts.

Its doable but you would need to be VERY sick/ bored to contemplate it .

jozi his doing a complete rebuild so i'm guessing he's been preparing for those things pacer

[Jozi]

As age says I'm prepared for all those things just wasn't expecting this. I have all I need from the old shell I'm using to reshell.

It was more of an addition to what you normally read which is that need the struts etc I never it mentioned there's two holes missing, that a big deal/issue

Hardly ! I would rather cut two holes than replace rear trailing arms and drive shafts !!!!

No missing holes on the cab. I did last year. Probably shell production date dependant.
Most significant mod. to a non ABS shell is obtaining and welding in the three mounts for the ABS pump.

Missing a word there, meant to say not that big an issue.

The shell it's all going into is a 1990 registered shell, the donor is a late 93 shell, both 318s maybe it is down to production?

I had dabbled with the thought of this as I have a donor car and I'm transferring it's legs but that puts the nail in the coffin for that idea.

Disk'd trailing arms will still be compatible with the driveshafts that were on the original car with drums, though?

ABS and non ABS driveshafts are different. The non ABS shafts do NOT have trigger rings.

If youvhave a donor with abs you have all you need really, its just a pair of extra holes ibwas missing which I thought didnt come on non abs cars.

Your steering rack is round the wrong way i hope you spotted that lol

[ajay]

I know the rack is on the wrong side, they say don't knock it till u try it.
Rust..! Thats a reflection buddy, no rust on this turd. Honest !

The holes are pre pressed, you just knock them through with a punch. In a standard shell you know where they are due to the missing sound deadening, but you might have covered over them with new?

ABS and non ABS driveshafts are different. The non ABS shafts do NOT have trigger rings.

but they will still fit and do their job except for not having the option to fit ABS?

Yes theyre the same otherwise
