probably prefer it to be registerable, but i dont think its an "approved mod". Yeti im refering to the hard lines that coming out of the master cylinder, not sure what your trying to show me. Nice bay though! I was originally wanting to redo the hard lines, but as yet i cant seem to find it in straight lengths, only rolls.

You just need a tube straightner, or I just use a bit of timber with a hole drilled in it haha You can do it in braided teflon, but the fittings will need to be press from memory. Any good brake shop will be able to do this for you. I have supplied the fittings before to come out of the master cylinder. It is a straight forward process after that.
