    retrofitting non ABS lines in ABS car...

    I am am removing the ABS from my race car and I am hoping to plumb new brakes lines using non ABS e30 parts.
    I don't have a non ABS car as a reference and the ETK is a little confusing.
    Here is a link to that diagram:
    http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...53&hg=34&fg=15

    So my questions are:

    1. Does the non ABS master cylinder have more than 2 outputs?
    2. Are they all the same size?
    3. If it only has 2, how do the front brake lines split up?
    4. Do these cars only have one main line going back to the rear brakes?
    5. Does your car use a pressure regulator in the line that goes to the rear?
    6. In the ETK diagram, what the hell is #7?

    I basically want my system to consist of:
    1 - booster
    1 - master cylinder
    1 - LF brake line
    1 - LF brake hose
    1 - RF brake line
    1 - RF brake hose
    1 - main rear line
    1 - T-Junction
    .... and from there on, the normal e30 rear set up
    and of course all the neccesary fittings etc.
    My master cylinder (iX) and brake booster are different than other e30's and the master cylinder only has 2 outlets like all ABS e30's. the split to the 3 main lines is done at the pump, so I need a way to divide up the lines to go to the 2 fronts. I plan on just using a t-junction like the one from the rear brake line split.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Being that you are from San Diego and having two IX's and one a dedicated race car, I have to ask if you are the guy that runs a red IX in CRS rallycross?

        Yeah, I have run several CRS events that you were at, including the one you organized at Del Mar. I have a lovely blue '87 Corolla beater that I run in 2WD stock. I don't think we have ever spoken, I don't know if you would know who I am. I haven't been out to a race since January, my car broke and I have been too busy and then too broke to fix it.

          3. If it only has 2, how do the front brake lines split up? 3 lines 1 each for fronts and 1 for both rears
          4. Do these cars only have one main line going back to the rear brakes? yes
          5. Does your car use a pressure regulator in the line that goes to the rear? yes

            Brake booster/master cylinder combo?

            OK, so can anyone reccomend a nice beefy race worthy booster/master cylinder combo?
