Default Drum-to-disc swap... ABS?

When swapping rear abs drums over to disc setup (from a abs car), can i just splice the cut ABS sensor wires (connected to the sensors on the disc setup) onto the cut sensor wires on my car and the ABS system would work fine?

Or is there som kind of trick for making rear disc conversions work with ABS?

-Thanks.

Don't cut anything. Take the sensor out of the drum WHOLE, pull the sensor out of the disc and plug the sensor from the drum in.

yeah, no need to swap the wheel sensors. just pull the stocks out of the back of the drum with a flat head screwdriver and put them into the si hubs.

Well then I can tell you that when I plugged in the sensors from the discs it threw the ABS light on. When I plugged the drum sensors into the disc, the light doesn't come on.

Sweet, thanks.

Just thought it would be harder to fix ABS disc swap than this.
