wait so your not going to use bulkhead fittings? im sure you can buy 72inch line at pep boys. but let me tell you, that one solid line is not going to be fun to bend and is going to look terrible.

ive never did brake lines so i really dont know how , and what i need to use to tuck them , but i been looking up on this thread and been looking at the way people do it ..... how would i go as far as bending the brake lines ..?

You will need a 3/16 tube bender.
You will need a flaring tool to suit whatever style fittings you are going to use.

You will need to do quiet a bit more research before going ahead...

I recommend getting some cheap 3/16 tube and the appropriate tools and practice some bending and flaring...

Question for those running a S2k clutch master using an EG push rod. I did this on my hatch and my pedal is VERY high, and stops about half inch from the floor, Do i still need a spacer if i use an EG rod, or do i just need to thread/shorten the rod??

Hey guys, quick question. I just installed my jumper terminals and they are outside the car. Now I don't want people ****ing with them, so I'm going to get a Taylor racing kill switch when I get some extra cash, now is there a way to wire both the positive jumper terminal and the battery cable into the kill switch then run a cable from the kill switch back to my positive battery terminal? Will this still allow for use of the terminals if wired this way?

I want both the battery and the terminals killed so when I turn it off people cant screw with them. Or if anyone has an idea please let me know

This sounds foolish.

First off why put the terminals on the outside of any street driven car?
Do you think people want to steal some amperage or maybe a volt?

Put your switch between the cable off the battery before the terminal.

Next time look before leaping.

Thanks for the help. Purpose behind it was just to make life easier if I need a jump or a buddy needs a jump. Personally I like the look (street or track), I realize some may not, but I'm driving the car so it's just what I wanted.

I'll put some more research in before I post next time, my apologies for just asking before doing thorough research.
