I've been looking through my service manual, finding which brake line to tap in to for my new line lock kit. I stumbled upon the circuit diagrams for the whole ABS system and got thinking.

It strikes me that if I was feeling particularly cunning, I could have saved the £75 for a line lock kit, and tapped into the electrically operated solenoids inside the ABS unit itself, using a switch to block off the front two lines as and when required.

Anyone ever tried this? :)

sounds an interesting idea that, but i dunno if id be messing with my ABS unit. I like stopping when i press the brake.

The ABS diagnostic may not like it.

Also the solenoid may not like being at 100% duty cycle for long and may overheat. Its designed to pulse, not operate continuously.
