I need to remove my ABS unit on my S13. I have searched and found that the easiest way to do it is by buying a tee brake fitting to merge the F line to FR and FL, and a coupler for the rear line. What I want to know is what size fittings do I need to get?

And this is the coupler

I just took the lines out of a non-ABS S13 and installed them after removing every brake line in the ABS engine bay. There's a junction for the rear brakes down near the clutch damper box. (or up near the fuel hard lines, I can't remember.) It was a lot more simple than I thought it would be.

^^^This...think the only other thing was opening up the 3rd port open for the other front brake line.

It's been a few years, but IIRC, the brake master was the same, 2 ports for front brakes, one port for the rear. Maybe I swapped the master as well, but I don't think I did.

I know the ways to remove the ABS. I just want to do it by the simplest available. What size are our brake lines? 3/16?
