Thanks.
As far as the energy goes I'm surprised at how much I can get done when all the fab work is done and I just have to bolt things on.

Thanks.
The coil overs came from TCI when I got the 4 link set up years ago.
I ordered it all through Currie when I had them narrow my rear.
They're rated at 250lbs.

The pics are pretty self explanatory.
I cut the original mount for the pedal off.
I'm using 3/4"x1/2" DOM going through the frame to mount them.
I still have to weld everything in but it's raining and I don't like to weld with bad weather.
Kim

Do you still have that plate you cut off that holds the pedals? My frame does not have it.

hotrod1 · 02-12-2013, 10:26 PM

Hey Kim:

That is fantastic! Where did you get the knowledge of how to run the lines?

How did you know to run what where?

**oldman3** · 02-13-2013, 12:27 AM

Hey Kim, super nice work on the lines. Couple questions, what adapters and fittings did you use to connect the vette filter to the hard lines?...Jim

I used these. You can get them in -6AN and -8AN. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-644123
I also picked up one of these to go in the outlet side of the filter.

Placement of the MC, hydraulic pump and fuel cell helped to dictate where certain things had to go.
For the most part I just put them where they would be in the easiest and most protected places.
As far as splitting the brake lines the runs from side to side don't need to be the same length. There will be some residual valves to keep the fluid from draining back into the master cylinder
I have a return-less fuel rail so that's why I used the Corvette filter.
My biggest problem was adding the hydraulic pump and lines as they were on the same side as the fuel lines.
If you have any questions or need more pics don't hesitate to ask.

Beautiful work there Kim, I can appreciate how hard it is to get them large lines so neat! I still haven't mastered that side of things yet.

The large lines do pose a little bit of a problem being harder to bend with the cheapo benders. I clamp mine in my vise for more torque.
