    I have wilwood swinging pedals in my sedan and have been thinking on how to get the lines from master cyl. to frame. I was thinking maybe a distrabution block on the fire wall but that would look kind of cluttered. I could run them down thruogh the floor but looks like they would interfere with the pedals when down.What have you all done? Any ideas?
    Thanks joe

    Just run them neatly like the factory would in a modern car. Have a couple 360 degree wraps (use a 2" pipe or something) per line, and route them down the firewall. Use nice Adele clamps and hardware. I would agree the distribution block might look cluttered, but a combination valve always looks professional.

    I think its all in how neatly you do it, not so much about clutter.

    i agree with 1950chevysuburban.

    cars are mechanical devises, it's not a sin to show some of the mechanical bits.

    As in mounted under the dash?

    If so,route them over to the kick panel,then send them forward,(both of them), through the firewall,to your exterior mounted prop. valve.

    on my car they run out of the front master to a t then through the kick panels to a -3 bulkhead fitting in the frame rail. rear line runs to a -4 bulkhead fitting in the left rail next to the front line then inside the rail to a t at the rear. all the lines end up hidden.
