    I shared working on the next steps and realized reading forward that there are never any instructions to install the corners of the footwell that protect the rad lines and brake/clutch lines. I had to info the corner sidewalls to get the pieces fit, but no big deal.

    After that, I started the brake and clutch line routing. I wanted to keep ABS, so I had to fab a bracket to hold the controller/pump. I cut up the OEM bracket and then cut some aluminum bar stock to fit to the front v in the center.

    Then I installed with silicone and rivets.

    After that it was on to the MCs and line routing.

    I wanted the clutch line to go behind the engine instead of in front and under the intake. So I ran the line to the shock crossbar and made a short removable section of hard line so the engine and trans could be removed if needed. I also used leftover ABS bracket to make a bracket for mounting the clutch flexible line.
