    Maybe Cav should name her Kym, as in Kym Kardashian, looks like everyone wanted to have a crack at it…

    Good news. The rack is all in and sorted. Just need some nylon washers for the rack ends so I can torque then up correctly.

    Yep nice work. You should maybe think about running your fuel lines now, before the motor goes in.  I wish i had. Heaps easier. Just a thought.

    I’ll drop motor in. Dummy everything up and then remove it and do all that stuff. I might just strip all the old likes and go front to back nylon

    Brake lines are easy as to do

     

    run all 3 out that same hole the front drivers side goes out and run them where ever you want  from there

     

    much neater

     

    all ypu you need is flaring tool and a pipe cutter

    Ok. Anyone got some links to

    – Pipe size for the brakes

    – Size for the fuel line + Return

    e85 compliant.

     

    IJ you wouldn’t happen to have benders and flaring tool?

     

     

    Peter did u run all the lines out on the drivers side and around the front of the car to the passenger side?

    I got my brake line from better brakes store local to me and is same as factory line

     

    I got the zinc or what ever it is, it’s same as what is in your car now, it is extremely easy to work with, I didn’t even use a bender, I just bent it by hand that is how easy it is

    Can get stainless steel but it’s fucked to work with

     

    get a few of the end fittings as well, you will see there is 2 different sizes on your master cyilendar, just take that in so you get the right sizes and rest should all be same as smaller size (like where it joins to braided lines at all 4 wheels and the T block down rear of car)

     

    all this is cheap as

     

    i run run my front drivers side out that hole just under the master, then foward to radiator support, then across that at the back and up under the flat lip of it if that makes sense, just held it up with some P clamps then it’s easy to run across to the wheel where it connects to the braided line

    The rear I just went out that same hole and it just crosses over the chassis rail when the rail has a big bend upwards in it near bell housing area

     

    from there it’s all in factory spot

     

    fuel Line go an8 feed and return unless you want to run 1000+hp then go to 5/8

     

    fuel line size is actually done on LPH flow but I trust you won’t be running 4 by 044 pumps to run a stock or mild LSA engine

     

    people get return size wrong all the time, it should be same size or preferabley a size bigger then feed line

     

    unless ss you have a pump controller in witch you can go smaller if you want but the reason is when fuel comes out of the regulator it decompresses to 0 psi, when it does this it releases air bubbles

     

    (same affect as people getting the bends when coming to the surface to quickly getting air bubbles in there blood)

     

    you ou want absolute 0 pressure in return line other wise all these bubbles won’t release and instead they will release when it gets into serge tank, this causes the fuel pump to Pick up bubbles and cavatate

     

    If you run a smaller return line this air bubble problem can arises, this will be why aftermarket industries serg tanks have all an8 feed and return fittings and an8 over flow so it’s never pressurised apart from feed line

     

    fuelab prodigy pumps suffer so badly from this they suggest running an8 feed an10 return and an10 over flow back to main tank
