Thanks,
MAP

I would not say that. impractical sure

Thanks!

I put it on the dash. Works great. It links up on key up in about 30 seconds.

Thanks!!

Carbon can be a pain to work with, but you guys make it look easy!

Mark I am working on my abs system using oem ZR1 carbon ceramics, factory calipers, master cylinder, booster etc. This is running on oem ZR1 skf hubs, oem knuckles, oem SLA suspension arms.

Having not done abs on any build I am still on the lower end of the learning curve. A question you may be able to help with.

Will the Bosch M4 system work with the zr1 oem active sensors in the hubs? Obviously the M4 is the way to go (but it is expensive for what ultimately is a street car)

I would still love to find a way to use the far cheaper oem zr1 brake controller and abs pump and trick the controller into thinking its standalone rather than looking for information coming from the zr1 BCM with all its active body control that is not applicable in this application.

I have owned my 1969 Camaro for 28 years now and although it is nice, I must say wow again and again to every build Mark does.
I could only dream of mine someday being even close to this. Mark I hope to meet you someday as I live only about 25 miles north of Royal Oak, MI.
Keep up the good work so we continue to have something to aspire to!

The stock ZR-1 active wheel speed sensors on the SKF brearing that you have will work with the Bosch M4 ABS system.

Not sure of a cheaper system other than the Conti system and it will work with the ZR-1 bearings also.

Thanks Mark that confirms what I thought. I will take a look at the Continental system implementation for another option. The cost of a standalone tweek-able abs system sure is a big hit to the wallet.

However with the efficiency of carbon ceramics the need for me to include an abs system (solely for vigorous track use) is far easier than justifying such a significant cost (on a build) just for my sedate road usage.

Your knowledge, input and feedback is without a doubt some of the most respected and sort after on this planet for a very good reason. Its a pleasure to just watch, listen and learn.

Can you please tell me what you used to bond your side mirror aluminum base to the carbon fiber?
I've done a test using the loctite marine 2-part epoxy but it doesn't hold like I expected.
Thanks
