    Recommended routing of Forte clutch hose

    I received my master cylinder from Mike for the hydraulic clutch. Hose seems relatively short, requiring some fairly optimal routing. Anyone have pictures of how they routed theirs? Thanks.

    I used a 90* fitting out of the master, ran the hose along the 2" frame (secured it there with a rubberized R clamp), then punched through the foot box side under the mechanical linkage (grommet on the hole). From there it just drops down to the slave.

    Similar routing here. Out of the MC, along the 2-inch tube, then out the footbox wall down to the slave. I use same hole in the footbox side as typically used to bring the rear harness into the cockpit. The alignment is just right.
