Since our front brakes have 2 seperate lines, one coming off of the master and the other coming off of the proportioning valve, what else is needed besides the uniersal kit, or do I need 2 solenoids?



I would like to put one on, but I want both front brakes to lock. Suggestions please.

You only need 1 solenoid . You really did not look properly huh :tisk: your brake booster has 2 lines coming off it . One to your front brakes the other to your rear . They might than go to an ABS unit ... but you can cut in before than ....

Sorry, but you need to go back and look. There are 2 lines coming out of the side of the master that go to the proportioing valve. There is a 3rd line that comes out of the bottom that goes directly to the left front brake. That is why I asked about using 2 solenoids.



To be more specific here, the brake 'booster' has one 'line' and that is a vacuume hose. The brake master cylinder has 3. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Just to clarify things and make sure we're on the same page, this was posted in the 1st gen section. The write up is for a 3rd gen and I don't know how similiar the 2 systems are (never played with a 3rd gen). 1st gens definately don't have ABS.

once you get past teh ABS removal section, the brake systems should be similar.
