I will be ordering a brake line tuck very soon.

An im almost done my harness, trying to clean it up as much as I can.

Why order a kit and overpay?

Buy a roll of hardline (ebay)
Compression an fittings, bulkhead fittings, any fittings you need (dirt cheap on ebay)
A tubing bender (local autoparts store)
And any 3an braided lines you need you can find cheal on ebay from nascar surplus

I have less then 200 dollars in supplies and I have everything I need to run new hardlines to all 4 corners and braided lines to the calipers. Not to mention the lines from the masters but I'm using a reverse hanging pedal assembly that places all three master cylinders inside the car (clutch and one master for the front and rear brakes, no oem proportioning valve)

Im just getting the diy fittings from rywire its like 150 and I do the bends and flares my self.

Thats the way to do it

If you need any help with ideas for where and how to run line, Im more than happy to give you advice.. I've done a lot of hardline on various cars from brakes, to the clutch, even fuel systems

Well I might have to get some line routing guidance when I get my purple pipe-dream project back in a few weeks.

Please do share, I need to do my car in the near future (though it's not a Honda).
I need to figure out how to run the clutch line, I currently have an SS braided line but it's snaked all over the place.

well when you get ready to do it, pm me. It all depends on chassis, master cylinder(s) (I personally ditch the stock units but thats me) and how you want it to work

I can draw up a diagram for any brake system configuration and show you the best way to route lines

What would be the best way to route the lines, im clueless to this as it is the first time I will be doing this.

I did a lil photo chopping and this is where im thinking of routing the lines from the master cylinder (red dots), is there a better spot I can bring them in through?

How do you guys clean the yellowing reservoirs?
Heard one could use a bleach and water mixture, to bring back the white color of the reservoirs. Any truth in that?

very clean cars

the covers yellow as a result of the brake fluid breaking down the plastic, as well as U.V. exposure, heat, and age

You can try it but you'll never get it back to 100% new. You can always buy the reservoirs or hit up a pull-a-part type junkyard

as to the brake line question, give me a detailed shot of that immediate area around the master you are considering and I'll go from there... Where are you planning to put the oem proportioning valve? Also, will you be turbocharging your k series at any time? if so that line location will be very close to the manifold (if you run a typical sidewinder) and could be exposed to heat which could prematurely break down the fluid and cause it to boil in the line

so get me good up close pic and I'll go from there. And I'm guessing you're intent on saving the booster?

I haven't posted in here a months. Cleaned things up a bit when this photo was taken (back in August) and added a custom torque damper which is hard to see, but it's connected to the driver side motor mount. Will soon be putting my turbo parts on so this is most likely the last shot of it as an n/a car
