G'day Wil,

Unfortunately, you've misread what it says - it's a lot worse than that.

What is says is:

"ABS and/or EBS from the donor vehicle shall not be used."

This means you can't use the ABS from the donor vehicle, but you still have to have ABS - so you have to get ABS from somewhere else, then get it sorted for your vehicle.

Good luck finding a highway approved aftermarket ABS controller - or completing the full ADR testing as required by the comment at the start of the document.

Thanks Treeve,
these people obviously have no idea of what they are doing in the slightest.. At least allowing the standard donor ABS to be installed would be a better start than trying to mix and match one to suit...
Lets hope their stupidity and narrow mindedness is not contagious..

so....you can get donor brakes from a falcon, and an ABS unit from a Mazda....that complies with the above?
