Delco-Moraine ABS Deletion

[Chillidoggy]

Update - LHD fabrications are ready to collect, and the first conversion I’m doing will start at the end of next week. This is exciting, and there’s been a huge amount of time and effort gone into the project to make sure it’s a success. Really looking forward to this one!

[swindon_alan]

Well done Ian, impressive stuff!

[Chillidoggy]

Thanks Alan.

This project has taken an unbelievable amount of my time, so it’s a labour of love rather than anything else. An evolution of the design with a higher specification pump gives an improved level of performance, and I’ve simplified it in a couple of areas to make installation easier. I’ll be reporting back in due course.

You added lightness?

Post-installation debriefing facilities arranged.  All a bit hush-hush, so don't tell anyone.

Funnily enough, yes! The latest design of servo bracket is now lighter, for the same strength.

A certain Mr Chapman is smiling at you, wherever he is...

...sneak peek.....

[Chillidoggy]

LHD fabrications have arrived, and unpacked. Looking good, too! Final part in the first LHD kit for Sweden. I’ll also able to supply RHD kits once I’ve finalised a few things.

[swindon_alan]

They look brilliant Ian. Very well done mate!

[Sparky]

I'm all a-quiver.

[swindon_alan]

Arrowheads lodged in inconvenient places perchance?

[Chillidoggy]

In other news, I've been contacted by Gerald at GST, who's asked me to supply him with a kit, which I will do in due course. Gerald has already carried out a conversion for @rizla603104, who I know is very pleased with the result.

[rizla603104]

I am exceedingly happy with the kit and installation. Huge transformation in braking reliability, feel and stopping distance. The best thing is that it has transformed the car and how it can be driven. Can not recommend this set up enough.

The previously mentioned Swedish LHD car is coming soon to the UK. The car is handed over to a very nice guy who drives it to your beautiful island, I'm really looking forward to this conversion and hope that the guys who will do the job don`t get too many problems and everything goes as they expected.

[Sparky]

Looking forward to seeing this Esprit!

[swindon_alan]

Love the colour! Well of course I would. The natural colour for a Lotus. Front indicators are the wrong way round though. Extra jobette for you there Sparky x

[Sparky]

Excellent!  It'll give me something to do whilst Ian is doing the conversion.

[AndersL]

That one with the indicators I have never thought of, some cars is like mine, but i can see that most are the other way around. i believe the first owner pay some extra to have it this way, special edition.😉

[tinywillyuk]

My indicators are the wrong way around too.  Same colour car...

Anyway... after following the debate, my system gave up the ghost.  So I guess I'm down for a kit.   I'm curious about one thing and have looked but may have missed the answer or just had a brain fart...  All the conversions noted seem to pop the vac pump in the engine bay location replacing the current vac pump and spurring a vac line off down to the front of the car.   No probs with that.

But is it not also possible just to leave the current system intact and unmolested and pop the pump in the nose on a suitable 12v feed?

[Barrykearley]

Nope - the abs unit and kit needs removing for Mot reasons

Yes it is, and the latest evolution offers front pump fitting as an option, although rear fitting remains possible for anyone that might prefer it. If you PM me for information on the conversion, I’ll be pleased to discuss it with you.

[Sparky]

And so it begins.

@Kim.Poulsen is now on the ferry with Anders' S4, and will be braving force 9-10 seas for the journey to Harwich, hoping to arrive early tomorrow morning.  If all goes to plan, he will arrive at Exotics International at approximately 0900 local.  Ian should arrive similarly with the necessary kit.  We will then commence the first LHD Delco Moraine conversion.  Oh, and a cam belt.

It's all in the hands of Ali now.  Good luck Kim, we're all counting on you...

[Sparky]

It's here!

Impressively sideways entry to Watford Exotics...
