Here are some install pictures; engine removed for visibility. You can't route it behind the ABS module like stock because it's too sharp of a bend out of the master, so route it to the outer side of the module.

So is this your engine compartment CaysE?

Do you think the other line in the photo below would solve the problem?

Just saw this now, Hector... yes, I think that will help, and will also get rid of a potential failure point. There is one downside: having a separate fitting like the current offering allows users to create their own AN lines, and replacing a failed line will likely be cheaper (since there's no need for a custom fitting). The second line you have pictured would require complete replacement in the case of a failure.

The other option to a one-piece line is to use an angled AN fitting onto the custom master fitting... probably 90 degrees. Measurements would have to be taken to make sure you're not hitting the ABS module, so from a business perspective, your proposed replacement is likely the best solution. From a user options perspective, having a separate AN adapter and using a 90 degree fitting would be better.

You will need to add a third mounting grommet to the line, as well, since there's another mount behind the ABS module.

i just put one in a little while ago

I just put one in, too. Seems to be a very nice part, but I think it would fit better with that shorter fitting, as well. Haven't attached the slave end yet, though.

Also, I removed that bracket by the firewall. It's not necessary with this hose.

Just now seeing this, I installed mine around April and I hated the way it was wedged against the module. It just looked like another CMC failure point. I ordered a 90° AN adapter and I was very happy with the result. I contacted CFM to let the know of the issue with ABS/SVT cars, and the fitting I got worked great.

Also, I covered mine in tape and electrical conduit for aided durability to keep the braid from chaffing and collecting grime. From my understanding the only difference between DOT-legal and non-DOT stainless brake hose is the clear rubber coating to keep grime out of the braids that can wear on the inner nylon. Maybe I over "thunk" it for a clutch line, but it was cheap piece of mind. More of a users issue, not so much worried about DOT, it's just that I've wrapped almost every hose with something because they seem to rub raw in these engine bays.

I didn't feel the need for a third grommet, the 90° bend put it out of the way.

Sniper Focus, where did you get the 90 AN adapter?
