Post pics!!!!!! We were promised pics tonight!!!! Damn you lol

[RolledAndPulledG]

Hahah it sucks, all 3 of my Flickrs are full as well as both photobuckets lol. Tonight I did bust out most of the front brakelines. As well as the hardline from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve

[RolledAndPulledG]

Made really good headway on the plumbing this weekend. $350 later and all the lines and fittings are mine..Lol

Got my Speedway MFG bias mounted where the oem handbrake mounts using 2 1/4"-20 bolts with nutserts pressed into the chassis



Got the main lines ran from the master cylinders forward and back



Also plumbed a 2lb residual valve in for the rears because the handbrake sits somewhat low



I absolutely love how all the lines laid out from the bias to the handbrake and to the back of the car, it just looks so awesome how mechanical and straight-forward everything is!





Line coming back is completely straight...Tidy.





T'd off and completely symetrical side to side





Used bulkhead fittings through the chassis





Rear coil in



Front line through the firewall and wiith a T





Front coils





Idea for mounting the resi's



Also got a good start on the wiring as well!

Thanks man, Im super stoked with how everything is turning out. My ebrake is the pass-thru model so no reservoir needed

[Hitman Cody2130]

Love the look of the brake lines man, killer job!

I might have said it earlier but you two need to tandem when your cars are done. You guys definitely have the coolest build threads on this site without a doubt.

Appreciated bro. That would be awesome if I can make it to an XDC event in Texas sometime later this year!

[RolledAndPulledG]

Today dad absolutely killed it on the wiring!













Stoked on having lights working!





Pressure switch plumbed in line for the brake lights



Taillights are pretty bright

[Hitman Cody2130]

Looks great all wired up! Nobody should complain about not being able to see your taillights

looking good bro.. you gonna drive this thing to UNLV or what??

[MommysLittleMonster]

Everything is coming along awesome! Can I make a small suggestion though?

Where you ran the front brake likes on the passenger's side, it looks like that brake line may be nothing but a headache later on. By putting it directly across that open gap, changing spark plugs or servicing the headers would be a giant pain in the ass. Plus, after a few hard runs, I can imagine the heat pouring off the headers will make your already-warm brake lines even toastier, and could boil the brake fluid.



If you have the time, you could always bring the brake lines further out, and tie them in tight with the firewall and wrap around the shock tower/tub. That way, in the small chance of something getting dropped in the engine bay or something falling, you won't lose a brake line or rip out a fitting.


Just an idea.

I thought about that, and its not as bad as it looks. If it later becomes an issue its easy enough to change. As far as heat goes, I only run Dot 5 fluid, mainly because it doesn't eat paint, but it also handles crazy heat before it boils

^ what he said, plus you could mount the reservoir in that little pocket area in the corner?
