    You'll need to remove it, and then run new brake lines to the master cylinder

    i THINK the master cylinders are different ABS to non ABS cars, pretty sure the ABS one has 2 outlets, and the non ABS 4, but my memory is a wee bit fuzzy, been a while since i did mine

    Or use a couple of T-connections to run four new lines off the two ports on the existing cylinder. Unless you are running an in-car adjustable bias controller (like me) then you should run diagonally opposite corners from each output.

    Ditto, i've got a non BAS master cylinder, running two lines to the fronts, one to each wheel, and one to the rears, via an in car bias valve, the 4th outlet is blanked off on the master cylinder

    I'd recommend getting a used Renault non ABS master cylinder.

    The motor factor replacements aren't as good and make the brakes a bit weak IMO
