    looking for some ideas on a better way to route and mount my hard lines instead of the usual wrap around rubber insert type single mounds, i would really like to run everything inside one frame rail and line them up top to bottom

    What type of ch***is, open 'C' channel or boxed frame. The way I read it is 'C' as you want to run inside. If boxed, they are there permanently and must be done before boxing otherwise they will rattle around. I used tube hard lines (fuel and brake) on my boxed frame and those S/S 'P' clamps every 12" as safety rules down here stipulate that. I have a final clamp where hard line turns into flex lines. . I've seen quite a few US imports down here with fluid lines just zip tied to fixtures.

    its a 56 f100 that has been boxed in the front for an ifs setup, i saw a write up on one of those aussie rodder website about a guy that lined his all up in a row then contoured a few peices of flat s**** with a hammer and solid steel bars the same size as the lines and it placed them about a half inch apart, i looked all over and cant find it, and im pretty sure everything was metal on metal, i want to insulate it somehow

    I know the article. it's on Ozrodders site. I'll see if I can locate. When clamped down the lines don't move, rub or rattle
