Anybody have a pic like this handy, or able to take one really quick?

I need to see a shot behind the driver's side wheel so I can see where the brake hardline routes as it enters the engine bay. I could've sworn I had it right but it doesn't want to line up properly in the retainer hole where it meets the softline.

Thanks for any help.

What exactly are you doing to the brake line?

Dave - i'm about to do a 5l swap on my project - PBR front calipers and rear disc's with SN95 booster/MC... Where can i get one of those little "T's" from to mate that brake line to the 2 port MC?

NAPA had it for me. You might be able to get it from ol' Matt at Improve your Braking! SN95Brakes.com too, but for a fraction of just the shipping costs alone you may as well try NAPA or whatever your local 'tech-minded' parts store is. I wouldn't imagine it'd be a hard item to find. I think that site lists the part number for a few brands too.

Thanks Dave!

I'll hit up my local NAPA - i also think i will need an adapter to go from the hardlines on the rear to the softlines on the caliper.

Looks sweet. Are those the factory lines, or did you spring for some stainless lines?


***EDIT***

I just read the post you linked. That is sweet. How do you keep the chrome out of the holes where the reservoir sits in the MC?

When such items are chromed, you plug up the open holes.

But what do you plug them with? Chroming is a process of dipping and shocking, right? I guess I am thinking if you pluged the ends with one of those plastic plugs that are used during powder coating, they would get destroyed during the shocking process. Maybe I am lost here! LOL

I have no idea, I'm not the chromer. I've seen him plug some parts w/a real dense foam-looking piece but I'm not sure if that's the same thing he uses while he does the actual plating. :dunno: Google it, I'm sure there's something out there.

Come on, man. These are the kinds of questions you are supposed to ask when you get work done to youre parts! Haha.

Google is always there, but I was just being lazy.

Looks nice. Where did you get the battery tray from?

Got it years ago from Speedway Motors. It's the deluxe version and I've seen it elsewhere. It was originally coated in some gray color. I polished the whole thing but that area seemed to be a hotspot for dust and stuff to settle on so it annoyed me a lot. Here's a pic of it when polished:
