<VV> corvair safety (abs?)

[Thomas Gwyther]

Years ago there was a thing that with a certain amount of pressure it would modulate very fast and act like anti-lock brakes.

I will see if I can find more about it in the next week or so.

Anyone able to give some info on how complex and expensive a task that would be?  I'd gladly stay with drums as I find them to be great.. I just want them to be ABS.

A few years ago I got my (then) girlfriend driving a vair...  she did GREAT at modulating the brakes in practice emergency stops.. but six months later when a deer ran out in front of her she put the pedal to the floor... held it there and went right off the road.
