After doing some research I decided not to go with the SLP kit for a few reasons:
1) location. Under the MC is a pain to get to and is right next to the exhaust.
2) I'm cheap
3) I like to fab my own stuff
So I ordered just a solenoid and adapter kit from Summit. The summit unit is very, very similar to the Hurst and I assume that they are made in the same factory. I picked up some 8" and 12" brake lines and a pair of 1/8NPT to 3/16 inverted flare fitting at O'Rielly's. I think they also had the M10x1.0 to 3/16 inverted flare adapters but I already bought the the Hurst fitting kit.
I chose to mount the solenoid next to the ABS module. MC1 is the line that goes to the MC front brakes. I fabricated a mounting bracket that also supports the bottom of the solenoid, as the aluminum heat sink extrusion didn't hold it real tight.
Solenoid mounted
I cut some heavy steel wire the same length as the brake lines and pre bent them as a template. The lines are installed back wards in the picture below. The inlet is the top port (connect to MC) and the bottom port should go to the ABS module. This solenoid will not work if installed back wards, don't ask how I know but I am good a bleeding brakes.
I kept the wiring simple. The coil is about 7 ohms meaning that it will draw about 2 amps continuously after the initial surge that creates the magnetic field. I used 16 ga. wire and a located a relay behind the stereo. The coil of the relay is wired to a switched IGN source. The human interface is a N/O momentary switch on a non-curly cord. I had a curly cord on a previous install and didn't like it.
So far I have had no issues with the ABS light. Bleeding the front brakes through the ABS module worked fine and didn't need to be connected to a machine
