Title: ABS Blankers for axles??
Post by: landyman Ash on August 24, 2005, 09:14:41: 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!

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?

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 :evil:

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