Hi,

So as promised a little how-to on how to install late FL 4-pin abs sensors to a PF or early FL 8 (which uses a 2-pin system). This is most likely only useful to anyone that changed their hub carriers to FL versions like i did.

The end result of this procedure means that we have working ABS and traction control again.

First off a quick reminder of the differences:



A close up of the connectors...my car was an early FL and so set up with the 2-pin wiring.



Simply cut off the 4-pin connector, take the yellow and red wires needed for the ABS sensors and solder these to your trusty old 2 pin connector from your old sensors. Make sure you insulate it properly, leave plenty of slack on the cable and hey presto - bob's your teapot!



Take it for a thorough test drive and really test it!
