Can anyone tell me what size bolts are used to attach the ABS sensor on. There are three bolts and can't find the correct size. It's on a 93 mx6. Yes I did look at past post to try and find my answer. Thank you for you help.

It is a 12mm head, but I don't know the thread pitch.

i have an extremely dumb question but....is it feasible to add abs to a car without it?

You can do it, but the question is why would you? A truly experienced driver can stop faster without abs than with it.

i was mostly just wondering although im not a truly experienced driver so i probably couldnt stop faster with it, what do you need to do for it, if you installed it yourself would it be possible to add an on off switch for when you didnt want to deal with it? and the reason i would do it IF which i probably wont is because of my parents and insurance.

I suppose you could put an on/off switch in the system....It would be a lot of work to do it and the parts would cost you as well. I don't think you would make up the difference in savings on your insurance just because your car has abs brakes or not. You would need front and rear spindles, axles, hydraulic lines, hydraulic pump motor, master cylinder?, abs computer, abs sensors, and the wiring.

Personal opinion...Don't bother. Use a good ziptie, cut off excess. You can do it so as to hold the bracket in the right position, and eliminate any chafing problems.

ok too much work, i was thinking only if it was as simple as hook sensors to each brake and run the wire to an abs computer, thanks for the info
