<posted in MkVII section, but maybe better here?>
ABS controller has begun to leak. Local car repair
shop I took it to, says the '87s (and similar) had a
lot of problems, design was changed later, and the
replacement would run to $2400 all told. So I thinks
to meself, a plain old power booster and proportioning
valve, maybe a couple of flare lines & tees, and screw
that.
Anybody gone down that road, know any likely organ
donor models, etc. that would mount up to studs and
pedal linkage, at least, for the booster/master? I can
deal with the plumbing plain enough I expect. Though
knowing the last year of T-bird to have non-ABS and
a proportioning valve (w/ rear discs?) would maybe be
a good place to start.
This is the only Ford in my life, so I don't have much
to go on, history-wise or parts-laying-about-wise.
