This is what I did. Went to a junk yard and bought some used hard lines for the front brakes and the master cylinder. Rebuild the master cylinder and install the hard lines. Take the hard line that goes to the rear brakes and carefully bend it to the master cylinder. Its obviously to long but if you don't have a cutting/flare tool then its all you can do. Get a quart of new fluid and bleed the entire system real good. I usually bleed everything twice to work out the old fluid real good.

I just did the ABS removal......
ONE PROBLEM.... the Proportioning valve stripped out on my car.... I tried to buy one on the forum... but i got a pulley in the mail from the dude.... dont know wassup with that....
ANYWAY.... when the the junkyard and got a prop vavle from a NON ABS car until i can get the right part....
the LOOK the same... HOWEVER.. on the NON ABS cars... the drivers side front brake comes out of the mastercylinder and the passenger side come out of the prop valve....
SOOOO I took the prop valve apart... the plunger and spring in the prop valve are different from the ABS to the NON-ABS cars... BUT the internals of the vavle body are the same.....
SOOOO i took the guts out of the ABS Prop valve and put them in the NON-ABS valve and use the end cap from the ABS valve on it as well....
If i can't get the right valve, I guess i'll see if the swap worked!!!!!
