To about where the toe board meets the firewall. The original firewall mat/insulation were still in primo shape so I didn't mess with it. My burb has been gutted, so I'll go all the way up on it.

sourkraut · 08-20-2010, 11:11 PM

that is what i was thinking with mine since it is bare as the burb. will you just cut around everything or leave an opening with the brake cluster and circuit breaker box.

**Tom Vogel** · 08-21-2010, 10:22 AM

Rob...
It appears you used braided flex for your entire fuel line setup. Why not aluminum, say from the pump to the firewall?

The braided lines made it easier connecting all the components. Plus I already had about 15' of the line,

I think they have a kit that will work with the stock spindle setup but I'm not 100% sure. Call Jeff at CPP and I'm sure he can explain the differences.
