Sorry mate not been on for a couple weeks. Am away til 2mrw will take some pics as only got mock up pics at mo and put up 2mrw. Well worth it in my opinion and quite a rewarding job to do. Bit of weight saving too Attachment 21975 that's all but all the hard brake lines inc abs ecu and wiring. Basically You remove the pump and all the lines and proportioning valve, I took out the ecu and wiring and tone rings/sensors etc as an extra. You then use the 2 ports on the master cylinder, 1 for front and 1 for rear. Fronts- run small line from mc to a tee, one to drivers side calliper line and one across bulkhead to passenger side. Rear- bulkhead pipe goes from mc around brake booster and goes thru the bulkhead above where the pedals are which connects to another hose from inside above and to the left of the clutch. This then runs along passenger side of the transmission tunnel to a lever control bias (as I wanted to control the bias and remove the oem proportioning valve) and then to a tee on rear bench then out to either side of bench where they go thru with more bulkhead fittings. Just a line from both of those from underneath round by the fuel tank out to rear calliper line brackets.the pics will make it easy to understand and how it runs. No more dodgy abs kicking in and much better pedal feel

Yes had a selection of brushes from toothbrush size up and a little 2L steamer to aid the process

Removed the air filter, battery, top mount etc. to gain better access

Not long, took longer to work out exactly how I wanted it and fixing it all was easy. The hardest part was tightening the bulkhead fittings on the rear bench seat, I needed another pair of hands to hold the hose fittings from the rear calliper lines underneath to where they meet them each side. Some of the fittings looked like they weren't wound in enough but definitely had no leaks and was really happy with the quality
