OK mates, a message for all IV.Generation Toronado owner:
There was no way for many month to get the abs pump in used but good (and cheap) condition. Not in USA and sure not in Europe. A rebuild of my pump was impossible because the brush holder was melted by extreme heat.
I thought I had to replace the whole ABS System into a standart vacuum brake servo. No ABS then but working brakes, I guess.
An idea changed all. The fu... Tewes ABS Brake of the first generation was used not only by GM or Oldsmobile: JAGUAR is the right choice.
The Jaguar XJS, XJ6, XJ12 from 1989 to 1996 used the same ABS system like the Oldsmobile Toronado/Trofeo. And old Jags are many here...
I got the pump for 50 bucks from a british ebayer.
The e-motor pump shows the same basic number 100511 follow by 90231 (90181 is Olds). The only difference is the wire plug. Use the old one from the Toronado pump and a working ABS System is the win.
My 1989 Toronado runs again
