    If you need more pics let me know and I will take some of mine. I have the engine and trans out of the car and the lines are still attached to them.

    I recycled the steel lines minus the front and rear 6" or so. They are already bent to route around everything and dissipate heat through their metal walls.

    I used rubber hose for the last 6-8 inches on each end, for flex and to fit the fittings I have on both ends.

    It is easier to buy the prebent steel lines (if you can find them) than try to bend them and make them fit.
