Has anyone completed a HEL thumb brake install on Gen3?

Its for my track/race bike so ABS has been deleted but unsure if its a disconnect from pump or electronic delete.

I've got JetPrime Switch gear and standard rear calliper.

Any help or advice on install especially around getting the brake line routing, length and connectors would be useful.

I'm happy to loose the foot lever if its easier but I can retain both, that would also be good.
 
ABS delete should be obvious under the seat. Either the pump and/or hoses are there or not :)

I *think* you can replace the brake caliper connection with a double banjo so both can operate it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332485712530

But I would strongly recommend asking HEL for their advice.

I watched something the other day on YouTube and the double-banjo doesn't work as it you end up forcing the fluid the wrong way - you need something called a junction valve if you want to keep the pedal as well.
