What a PITA. Ok so I haven't cut any lines yet. But I really do want to try to get this thing by installed tomorrow. But at the same time, I don't want to have a problem that I can't fix before I have to leave Friday for the track.

The rear line is a single 1/4" line. So I need to cut the rear line that's under the car, add a fitting and flare it then connect another one to it, run it through the trans tunnel and mount it in the ash tray location. Obviously then back down again and connect to the rear of the brake line that runs to the rear.

I've rented a flare tool before and it took me a couple of tries but I got it to seal. I'm afraid of cutting the rear line clean enough and making a good flare. I feel like that could be a disaster. Also, will I have a hard time bleeding the brakes with the prop. valve being mounted up so high?

I might just scrap this for now since I have a track day coming up.

Any help will be appreciated!

I've removed abs, that transfered way too much braking to the rear. I'm running XP20's front with C5 front brakes and stock LT1 rears with the cheapest pad I could find. I posted my axle hop videos last year and the conclusion was I just need to add a prop valve. With smooth application of brake and no downshift, I'm actually threshold braking the rear, not the front. Since removing ABS, I've never locked the front wheels. But my pedal feel is awesome. And it's so easy to bleed brakes now.

That was at Carolina Motorsports Park, one of the hardest tracks in the US on brakes. This weekend will be at Roebling Road, much easier on brakes. I'll leave this project for another day.
