The 16" Syncros never came  with ABS.  And with  the 14" ... if you want
to shut the ABS off off road, just install a switch in line with the ABS
fuse.  But then   never forget to enable  ABS  again when  on the  road.
Maybe, rather than just a switch you should install a self holding relay
which is deactivated  with the  ignition  off and  which when  activated
disables the ABS circuit ... just a thought.

Sincerely
 Rainer
