Check these out. Still need to fasten the lines secure. The thing on the transmission is a temp. sender.

Man ! How CLEAN is your truck ! WOW !

Anyway, nice job on the plumbing !

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2005, 11:19 PM

Even though alot of ppl use steel braided lines just to look cool, I'm going to say this anyways.
It's a good idea to coever those with rubber and zip ties or the ribbed conduit, the steel braided lines are VERY abraisive and will cut anything it leans against with movement from norma vibration.

Low69CST · 03-26-2005, 11:29 PM

It's only clean because it's all new! Aint never seen the road yet.

Yeah, i'm concerned bout them rubbing into stuff. I found some holders and seperators, but they are back ordered. I've got some on the way and I'll be making sure to keep them secured and off everything.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-26-2005, 11:46 PM

Damn those look good... Nice work..

ACES · 03-27-2005, 02:50 AM

That looks SHARP!! What else is in store for this truck?

cableguy0 · 03-27-2005, 03:06 AM

you can use clamps for electrical wires to hold the line any auto parts store should have em they are metal with rubber inside 1 bolt holds em down

Low69CST · 03-27-2005, 03:42 AM

Aces: I've done a ton of performance stuff, blazer tank, disc brake rear, camaro sway bar, lowered, ECE rear suspension stuff, 700R4, built up 400sb, aluminum master cylinder. i got pics of most all of it if you want to see some of it

Cableguy, won't that line rub through those little clamps?

ACES · 03-27-2005, 04:41 AM

Low69CST- I never turn down pics. I'd love to see them.

72MARIO · 03-27-2005, 09:26 AM

The lines look great. How about some info on the fan set up you are running..

Longhorn Man · 03-27-2005, 10:42 AM

if the clamps hold onto the line tightly, then the line won't be able to move and cut it.

Sweet72 · 03-27-2005, 11:29 AM

Adel (pronounced A-dell) clamps have been used for a long time on aircraft. Braided steel hydraulic/oil lines and electrical conduit are almost always secured with these clamps. Nice installation on the tranny cooler and lines.
BTW, the metal clamp on the right in pic is not a adel.

Low69CST · 04-01-2005, 09:20 AM

Fan set up is a flexalite set up for our trucks. The mounting is a little akward, but I like it.

ACES:Heres a few pics of some big stuff i've done
