    ABS delete lines for a 87 e30

    I know there were some earlier E30's that didnt come with ABS. I was wanting the lines to do this, so I dont have to do them from scratch. I would love to get rid of all those lines/box and clean up the engine bay.
    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

      I didnt think you could still order something like that new. Are they on realoem? Do i need to enter a different car on there to find non-abs stuff? (since most e30's had abs).

            Your going to have to buy a length of hard line and the BMW style flaring tool and figure it out yourself then.

              I've been told that it's very difficult to make good bubble flares with commercially available hand tools. I found that AutoZone sells lines in various lenghts with the proper line diameter and ends. Their P/N is PAEX-3zz where the zz is length in inches (an 12" long piece would be PAEX-312). When I deleted my ABS I bought several pieces of various short lengths, used what I needed and returned the rest. The long piece that goes to the right front wheel seemed to difficult to bend correctly and fish it through all spaces so I just reused the one in the car by coiling up the end near the master cylinder and connecting it to the T-joint (you'll need to buy one of these).
