* The brake lines under the seats are going to the aftmost hole instead of the center hole if you need a return line. | * The brake lines under the seats are going to the aftmost hole instead of the center hole if you need a return line. | ||
* The brake lines under the seats are held by F-1084A/F-1084B. Normally the metal lines are protected by plastic bushings with .25 ID / .375 OD. For the premade hoses, one can use rubber grommets forced over the fitting with a bit of heat, e.g. ID 0.375 (3/8), OD .469 (15/32). This requires enlarging the rear F-1084 holes on both sides to 15/32. Make sure the F-1084B top part is on in the right orientation as it is not symmetrical. | * The brake lines under the seats are held by F-1084A/F-1084B.

* The three Adel clamps that hold each brake line along the bottom of the tunnel needs to be a #6 size (Vans supplies #5 clamps). The #6 clamp in the front and middle needs to be bent to have less height, otherwise it hits the bottom of the tunnel and the hole won't align. Bend it so you can just still get to the 8R8 screw with a screwdriver. The instructions illustrate that the brake line dives down to get below the 45 degree fitting for the fuel line that uses the middle hole. If you do that, the brake line will be pushed against shop heads on the bottom of the tunnel. Better to have the brake line point a bit up and go above the center fuel fitting. The first Adel clamp should then point up instead of down. | * The three Adel clamps that hold each brake line along the bottom of the tunnel needs to be a #6 size (Vans supplies #5 clamps).
