ABS Power Brake

[Roush #1]

Mark,
I used their # 10-57 master cylinder which is a firewall mount with a remote brake fluid reservoir. I don't think there is a lot of difference in their master cylinders if you specify disc brakes on all four wheels as I did. The main differences seem to be mounting type and brake fluid remote reservoirs or built on the master cylinder.
I spent a lot of time making a bracket to mount the pump and accumlator to the firewall and changing out their fittings/lines with stainless hose.
There was also a lot of time involved in fitting the master cylinder to the firewall. I basically rebuilt the firewall from the outside fender to the center of the car and started over with the mounting holes. I used about a half gallon of fiberglass resin to do this.
When fitting the pedal assembly I had to also make another mounting point for the steering column which attaches to the sandwich plate on the engine side of the firewall.
I modified their pedal assembly to fit my interior. The pedals were about 2 inches too long.
The assembly they sent seems to work just fine after the initial bugs (master cylinder failure and wiring problem) were fixed and the pedals adjusted to fit me and my car.
I have not tracked the car with this set up but I think the brake bias will be just fine for road courses. I know the car will stop with a lot less pedal effort than before. If I need to adjust the bias, I will do it with brake line pressure rather than a bias bar in the pedal assembly.
If you just took the ABS package and installed it, I think it could be done as a week end project, but as I did it, I have about 60 hours in the modifications and installation.
