Under floor brakes and exhaust question
I was curious we got the new universal under floor brake bracket and booster for the coupe. Just setting this up there it sure looks like when we run the exhuast it will be really close to the brake system.
What is everyone esle do in this situation?
ThanksPeace and Bacon Grease

you could wrap the exhaust with thermotec. Stuff works pretty well. Add a heat sheild between the two, and you'll really be set..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Yea I guess you have a good point, never really considered the wrap. Space is so limited down there I guess adapt and overcome.

Sounds like one more reason to put the master cylinder under the dash on a hanging pedal with a 90 degree mount.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

if you use a 2 post lift be sure to leave room for the lift. on most of my builds this is how i run them. i'd rather drag a pipe instead of the trans my exhaust guy is really good. he took over the shop when his dad passed.

Very nice, it sure does help having a visual of things
I appreciate it shine.
You dont have a close up of the brake booster and master cylinder.
I have noticed you had a combination valve.
I have been told for running disk and drum that I could run a propotioning valve and 10lb risidual out the back and on the front a combination valve and one 2lb risidual.
But I also have seen that you can run two 2lb risidual one for each side up front with a metering valve. SO I am getting a little lost.Peace and Bacon Grease
