Dual circuit brakes 120-130

Don;

I may be able to help with electrical questions...I suggest you start a new thread...and be specific in your questions.

Jim;

ABS really only helps during panic/lock-up situationns AND where you need to still have some steering ability...sure, when you needed it, it might have been nice to have, because it MIGHT have saved you...you'll never know...but that's a lot of work and hardware to carry around for that hopefully rare occasion...Engineering an ABS into a 122 would require a significant effort...just give me a good working and well biased dual system and I'll do the threshold braking...I do drive the suspension pretty hard, but not 10/10ths around (or decreasing radius) curves where visibility is limited...there's just no future in it...for me or the car....maybe I'm just getting slower and/or wiser in my old age...

Patrick;

Go to: http://www.gcp.se, click on: Catalogue, then: pull down menus under the models, and step through index annd pages.

Cheers
