Default Relocating ABS Unit?

As the title suggests has anyone relocated the ABS unit from behind the battery?

I haven't had a good look at what is required, just wondered if anyone had tackled this?

i dont see why you couldnt

if you used some parts from the older falcons with the abs down behind the headlight etc you could get away with it ok

maybe talk to a brake specialist due to the ADR's etc that go along with safety systems etc for your car it may be a big no no

Yeah I have no doubt it is possible, just a matter of how much work is involved..And cost..

I have a good contact a RDA so might give him a call and have a chat..

Not sure what I can use from older cars, remembering that there is Traction Control to contend with as well..

Went and have a look see through Daniels (CAT600) build thread in the hope he'd relocated his, but he hasn't..

Didn't Ford relocate it in the B-Series? That's your easiest solution I would think.

B-Series have it on passenger side behind the spring tower if I haven't lost my memory.

Search up some pics of a B-Series engine bay - there has to be plenty around the forum I'd expect.

Yeah your right, I had looked through a few pics but couldn't locate it, as soon as you mentioned it I could see it clear as day

I wonder if I could relocate the AU one and just steal all the lines etc from the BA... hrmm.. I cant see using the whole BA module working out too easily..

Valued Contributor: For members whose non technical contributions are worthy of recognition. - Issue reason: Always willing to help out fellow AFF members... Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Daniels knowledge of modular engines and superchargers is extremely valuable to the AFF community. I have learnt quite a bit just reading his build threads. His contributions are often utilised by other members.

Give Shane a PM (Sprint347), as the "Minginator" had the ABS relocated by Herrod's to the BA onwards position, and has since been returned to stock.... it's possible Shane kept the lines.
