300zx Master Cylinder in S14---bending lines.

Another option is braided lines to replace the hardlines. I know a lot of people don't like it and for your application I don't think it's necessary, but it's an acceptable alternative if you have no other option.

Before you flame me, there is no way I could use hardlines on my engine due to the motor being moved back 3" and having a distributor sticking out on the firewall. So in some situations it's justified.

That is the first valid argument I have heard for using full braided ss lines from bmc back. most people just want to do it for the cool factor not realizing that braided lines wear out at some point and must be changed.

sounds expensive. How much was it if you don't mind me asking?

The lines and fittings themselves aren't expensive. I would guess around $200 at most if you bought from a retail store.

The real work is in routing the lines. I have mine going into the passenger compartment and running along where the hatch/fuel release is, and out near where the driver seatbelt bolts onto the car.

I wanted to protect the rear line as much as possible, and make it easier to route to a hydro handbrake later on, but you don't have to route it inside the car.
