Any comments?
Every front mount application i've seen uses Aeroquip braided steel lines. Is rubber a bad idea? Thanks |

You can use rubber, but the steel hose is probably stronger, and offers "some" wear protection with the stainless steel braiding.
You can also go with bent steel or brass lines, but they would be a bitch to form correctly. You can run your lines underneath the rockers, through the heater ducts on the passenger or driver side, but it would mess up your heat if you have it, or inside the cabin along the tunnel on the passenger side (not recommended in case the line bursts and shoots scalding hot oil on the driver!) I would put grommets in the through-holes to prevent chaffing of the body sheetmetal into the lines. |
