Not that I'm aware of. I have looked into it, but the task is monumental. Wheel speed sensors/wiring.. and the such. I'm not sure the 914 alternator could even keep up with the amperage demands of a late model Bosch ABS system. It would require some serious amperage.

Here in Finland is one VW Bug with antilock brakes. So, why not.....

What would the power demands be?
I was thinking of the ABS system from the 944/968. |

How about one of those talking thingy’s out of a luxury car:
"The door is ajar." "The door is ajar." "You are exceeding the speed limit." "You are exceeding the speed limit." "This unit does not float." "This unit does not...glub..glub...glub... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

If you want antilock brakes, buy a Boxster.
There was a device around in the 70's called a Safety Brake (or something similar) that would attach to your master cylinder and help prevent lockup. I think it was basically another spring loaded proportioning valve. Never bought one, but they were pretty heavily advertised back then. Don't know if they're still around. I personally also believe that a good right foot is the best antilock brake system, also doesn't make that infernal noise when it goes into action. |

Stewart Warner makes what is basically a cushioned prop valve. They are used in some Winston Cup cars. Supposedly the work well. I would like to try one.

ABS who needs it! I always hate that sinking feeling when your sliding toward something and the abs comes on making you feel out of control thinking your gonna crash....
But with a similar system you could have traction control. Recent snow storms here in midwest and driving a few cars with traction control makes me want it! |
