Guys:
Tonight I ran the 5/16" steel lines (from Summit) through the tranny tunnel. They went in pretty easy, but getting them throught the front grommet was a bitch. So, now I have about 2 feet of steel line coming out of the rear firewall. How do it get to the engine compartment? I don't think I can/should try to bend the steel lines up into the engine compartment, although I'd like too, I think I'd kink the lines. This stuff is flexible, but not THAT flexible. What have you guys that used steel lines done? I've heard mention of using flexible line to make the right turn and up through to the engine compartment. What kind should I use? Where can get it? I thought about re-using a section of the plastic line that I took out of the tunnel, but how would I connect it to the steel line, since they're both the same size? A small connecting 8mm hose with a clamp at each end? I'd be concerned about putting a clamp on the plastic line, but maybe it'd be OK. Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated!! Thanks, Andy... |

Thanks guys,
So, the rubber line going from the steel line (just outside the firewall) over past the HEs and thru the grommets to the rails is OK? Will the 8mm rubber line fit thru the grommets? My engine is still in the car, so there's not a lot of room to work with the bender. Thanks, Andy... |
