Re: Anti-lock brakes for my beloved '79 900 gle 5-door Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Fri, 6 Dec 2013 18:20:28 In Reply to: Anti-lock brakes for my beloved '79 900 gle 5-door, BAAB [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 5 Dec 2013 20:37:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
That's quite a lot of work. You'd need the entire rear axle, trailing arms, both front knuckles, ABS box (under rear seat), and the wiring. Oh, and the pedal, calipers, MC, valve thingy, all the lines, etc.
One thing: You will no longer be able to mount year-appropriate wheels. No more Incas, TRX, manhole covers, Shelbys, or whatever your fancy is/was. ABS only came on 900s with the 9000 bolt pattern wheels. I don't know if that matters to you, but I thought it bore mentioning.
Frankly, if it were just me who drove the car, I'd invest in better tires (including proper snows, if you get that kind of weather), and probably a driving school to improve my skill at modulating the brakes.
