brake piping
hi ive just striped all the abs off my saxo track car. there was 2 pipes from the master cylinder 2 the abs unit then 4 from the abs unit one 2 each
wheel . but now i just have the 2 on the master cylinder do you run 1 to the back 2 wheels and 1 to the front 2 wheels. does it matter which one of
the two gos to the front or back. and do i need a brake bias valve.

Sounds like a tandem m/c so you basically run each pipe to either front or back system. I wouldn't put in a bias valve unless you really need
one - and you won't know until you drive the car

I'm confused, it doesn't take much I know
But does the 2 mean two or to, can you write it in non text message language?
Usually the front outlet on the master cylinder goes to the front wheels and rear to rear. The car might already have a load sensing valve to the
rear brakes.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

FWD cars especially small FWD cars are generally way over braked on the rear wheels, because of weight distribution and transfer the rear wheels do
virtually no braking on dry tarmac.
I am pretty sure you will need a valve in the rear circuit.
Other thing you will have to watch is that with ABS systems the brake effort is supplied by the ABS pump not the pedal.

It always makes me laugh when you i see young lads in mags putting a big disc conversion on the rear of their hatches ,when we used to race in the
fiesta si championship we had the bare minimum of braking to the rear just enough to keep the rear stable.
