ABS Blankers for axles??

[landyman Ash]

Ive just bought a set of axles for a disco and the front have the ABS sensors removed.

Thats fine as I dont want them BUT there is now like a hole (looks like the king pin is missing buts not) so can you get something to block these ABS sensor holes?  

If not I'll metal putty them or make a plate and silicone it down but was looking for the easiest option!

Why do you need to blank/fill them? (asking, not arguing )

[landyman Ash]

They are going on the hybrid and when you look into hole, it goes into the internals of the swivel.  When I go into water and mud they will fill up and it will be new swivel time.....

And I hate doing swivels!

Just want to stop the water and mud getting into them

How weird!

Could you not put a bolt through with a bit of instant gasket on the washers?

[landyman Ash]

Very weird!!

I thought when I picked the axle up the king pins were missing!!  

The holes are quick large so I think a plate or a bit of metal putty might just be easier.

Pain in the bum

You could always find a local garage and ask them to keep a couple of dead ABS sensors for you... bound to be plenty about ;-)

[landyman Ash]

Oh thats a good idea!

Hadnt thought of that one!  Nice one Tim

why not just get a pair of top swivel pins out an earlyer motor without the holes & fit them??

I understnad that thew ABS axles have a top bush, not a bearing.  If so I wonder if they will last as long for your hybrid......

[landyman Ash]

Hmmm hadnt thought of that.

I'll let you know.  Maybe not such a good change.

[muddyweb]

My 90 axles don't have bearings in the top.... I don't think you'll see any problems.

[landyman Ash]

Thats good to hear and by looking at your varying avatars you've certainly been playing in the mud!!!!!!
