Hey, just wondering - if i removed the ABS, would i need a master cylinder from a NON ABS car?

Its a Corsa B GSi '93 (C16XE) by the way, just wondering what I would need to change on removal.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Alrite, cheers mate! I'll have a look and assess the situation! Any tips on the re-routing? How did you go about yours??

Just thinking about the actual master cylinder now, it has 1 output and 1 return hole right? Does that mean i need to re-route brake lines to the back and front with T-Pieces etc?

Ah right, cool. Does it really cross over like you say? Driver side front/passenger side rear? and does it matter which output it used, i mean is there a specific one for each group?

it is supposed to in case of pipe fail. People often pipe it both front off one both rear off other so up to you really. I did mine cross sides as thats how it is standard.
