Or is there a seperate tone ring you need to separately mount to those hubs?

    Thanks!

    Hey Juan - I have my parts list on my site https://cobradreams.com/2020/04/12/abs-planning/
    I'm pretty sure I have all the pics from johngeorge's site as well

    As far as sensors I went with modified Russ Thompson brackets with Motocraft BRAB-290 for the SN95 hubs,
    and the rear IRS I believe will use sensors that will work with the built in IRS hub Motorcraft BRAB-406

    today I was pretty stoked to actually get some brake lines setup on the car!!

    The Eastwood Brake Flaring tool is amazingly simple once you figure out the steps, I'm using Ni-Copp for brake lines and it's super flexible!

    one tip, and I swore I wouldn't screw it up - but use a bit of tape to keep you flare nut at the end of the line,
    this way when you bend your lines you don't accidentally trap the nut behind a bend... yep, did it already! LOL

    I took Edwardb's advice and used the Rigid 3/6" tubing bender - it works fantastically!

    with ABS, I have to run 2 feeds to the HCU, then spider out from there to each wheel... got the two feed lines setup today
