Thread: Did soft-dash classics have 4 or 6 brake lines?

2 to the back, 4 to the front

Same as my hard-dash.

Guess I need to look to discos for parts donation then.

I've ditched the rangie brakes and installed defender brakes with disco booster and ditched the abs

I don't care much about the ABS, but the traction control I want to keep.

I'm looking for the best way to convert a dual line ABS setup to the later single line.

Out of curiosity why do you want to change the to single line type? I have some in the shed off a D1 but they are for solid rotors.

Bigger front calipers.
I've done it on my non ABS RRC and it stops better than the ABS one. So I'm looking for ways to convert the ABS system to work with single line fronts.

I'm trying not to think about it too much as I've got far more important things to do. But I think I'd need to investigate P38 ABS valve blocks for the neatest conversion.
I should also look at possibilities of getting the 46mm pistons fitted to the original calipers (41.3mm pistons) if ABS swaps get too difficult and expensive.

Fair enough. Good luck.

Not sure if it helps, but I know people who have converted RRC front calipers to single circuit.
