I was wondering if anybody happens to have a photo or two showing how they ran their hydraulic lines for the Forte's Hydraulic Clutch Kit. I'm in the process of running my brake lines and wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes going forward since I don' have the kit/engine in hand yet to see exactly where those items will end up.
Thanks!

I don't have a great picture (and I didn't use Forte's external slave kit, I used his internal throwout bearing. But the gist is the same.
I went down outside of the existing brake lines, then across bottom of firewall with some hard-line, where it connected to a flexible stainless line.
If you zoom in to bottom of firewall you can see the connection.

You should be fine running brake lines how you want, the braided line that comes with Mikes kit can easily be routed anywhere you want.
Here are a couple pics, I ran mine down on the lower pedal box frame out the side of foot box.

Excellent, I was hoping it would be a stainless flex line for ease of assembly. Looks like this shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Thanks for the pics!

I don't have the Forte clutch kit but running hydraulic TO bearing as well. Ran it just like Fman.

Here's some more pics for you, Mark 3.1, TKO 600, 347 SBF. I know this CNC brand Slave is no longer available, and the adaptor to a stock clutch arm I fabricated and gave the design to Mike Forte, no way I was pulling the engine out again to replace the clutch arm!

Similar to SJDave I ran mine out of the back of the driver foot box. I ran my rear electrical harness out a hole in that same area so ran the SS flex line through the same grommet. Just the right length to get to the slave cylinder.
