    Finally got around to adding the block hugger headers and ran into this issue. Anyone know what I can do about it?

    Im thinking a 90 then into the brake line. I don’t know the size of the line.

    The passenger side bolts up fine but is touching the motor mount bracket. Is that something I should worry about and is there a way to fix that?

    I'm not sure I like having heat that close to the master cylinder.

    can't really tell in photo
    but most single master cylinders . have the fitting held with a banjo bolt with crush washers
    if so just rotate it around

    After it’s all done I’ll put a heat shield of some sort between it. Try and keep some of the heat off it.

    Eventually. Trying to get it back up and running.

    Now that I have the headers figured out I can move forward with putting it back together.

    I have to figure out the carb linkage now.

    A swing pedal might be soon anyways.
