ARCHIVE ABS sensor delete at the knuckle (1 Viewer)

My time isn't worth $1.50/hr so...

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

Oh you got that raise, the knee time a swallow paid off, the $1.58 makes you the man

Shipping $2.66 for first class

For the rear

I see these in my future.....

Oh and it’s one less thing to worry about when doing a knuckle service, no ABS sensor to remove

 

[Dirty Koala]

In for a pair or maybe 2

Will your rears work with the sleeve or without it? I banged out the sleeves. Good old duct tape covering the hole at the moment.

Getting ready to follow your idea on the front what sleeve do you speak of on the rear?

It’s kinda like a shock sleeve that protects the sensor shaft, I guess. If I remember correctly it was pressed in the hole circled in the photo.

Sleeve stays in.

Btw if you removed the sleeve it’s not a huge deal. It just means the boss has about .01” of gap. Meh.

Agree.

I was bored today and in haste I went to ace and picked up a few plastic round end caps that fit very well in the holes. Under $4 while my breath is held on these to come to fruition

 

[Mr Cimarron]

I used a tequila cork for four years when the chassis was just a parts rig. Sold the sensor.

So the rear ABS sensors are not symmetric but the new plug is

These are gonna look soooooooo sexy in black anodize and an elegantly placed logo

I would probably make them out of plastic or something because those who drive in salt or mag chloride in addition to dissimilar metals up against each other along with moisture seeping at least up to the o-ring will be in pretty rough shape after a year or two and frozen in the knuckle because of corrosion.

Even if I was making some for myself I would still choose aluminum. Aluminum vs steel is generally a good combination when it comes to corrosion were as aluminum and stainless steel are a very bad combination. Just think of all the areas on a vehicle where aluminum and steel are in direct contact. Threading a zirc fitting into a plastic material is just asking for trouble. Also, grease on the shaft of the plug will help a lot too and I'll just add that to the instructions or include a small pouch of brake lube.
