Talking SSBC Brake System

I am starting the plumbing portion of my SSBC conversion. Can anyone post a pic of the dual master cylinder with using the stock distribution block. Also, after the MC is bench bled how do you connect the lines without leaking brake fluid all over the place. Thanks.

after you bech bleed it the fluid for the most part will stay in me master cyl unless you push the piston in. i would put a rag under it but for the most part it will not just run out of the holes

For the short lines to the distribution block, I'd strongly recommend using Napa's PolyArmor brake line. It has a teflon outer shell which allows it to bend easier without as much risk of kinking. You should still use a socket to get really tight bends, but I had no problems running mine.

Unless you have a flaring tool, buy short pieces of pre-bent line. Cut a wire hangar into pieces the same length as the lines. Bend the wires into shapes that work and won't interfere with anything, then bend the lines to match the wires. Don't be afraid to work a big U or a complete loop into the line if you've got extra. Most manufacturers actually do this at the factory to help with vibration issues.

eZ, you really should consider getting a distribution block. It really cleans up the engine bay.

I got the SSBC kit and it came with 2 short pieces of tubing. I know its for the proportioning valve, just wanted to see what it should look like.
