Hi,

My build has the Wilwood Brakes with the Brake Booster. Engine plans are the 427 Boss Block as far as clearances in the bay.

I started on brake lines, I was able to neatly prebend them & route them, but felt that cutting through the footbox panel and snaking them back through would be a challenge, and one that I would not want to do again if a flare was not perfect.

My resolve after speaking with Wilwood may be to run flexible or short hoses on the Footbox side, to a fitting in the footbox panel, then copper 3/16 to the booster. On the FFR video they show possibly routing up to the far outside corner and around the outside panel and back along the box tube as a possible path. Honestly not sure which would look best or be best, but interested to see what others may have done here.

On the Reservoir, we get these really nice chrome like Reservoirs. It seems like everyone is mounting them in what I call the Jungle Gym in front of the Footbox. With this being done, 2 items come to mind, A. You can not see them at all, hence so much for the nice look, B. How difficult is it to fill them here or is it possible to check and fill them at all with the body on?

Attached is a pic of one on a Backdraft which kind of looks nice, but with them on the engine side, any negatives as far as spacing or other?
