Looks like good stuff, what kind of clamps did you use, just standard hose clamps or something special because I know they ave to handle a good amount of oil pressure like 60 psi?

exactly, brake line is like 10 bucks for 20 feet. throw the right fittings on it and flair it, naggers.

No, just wondering, because I know cheap hose clamps suck sometimes and come loose. I'll probably do the brakeline setup. Only downside is you gotta bend it properly, rather than just run it like a hose. But bending it shouldn't be too much trouble.

brake line bends like butter, if you get a flair kit it comes with the bend tool also, so you don't crimp the line.
