Brake line standoff

[yankee-flyer]

Here's a photo of my solution to the problem of the brake line bundle rubbing on bolts coming through the firewall.

Yes, I know there's an air bubble-- I've pumped a quart of brake fluid out of the reservoir and onto the floor trying to get rid of it. Anyone know of a cap that will fit the reservoir and hold (tightly) a piece of hose to a catch can??

in the 4D size. (Or something similar at the hardware store)

Wayne,
Nice fix. Did you record the size of the bolt and length of the standoff?

AN3-14A

Standoff is just a hair under 1 inch (made from leftover material from the GPS mount standoffs) with an AN3-14A bolt. If I can get my hands on a piece of that white phenoloc material I may replace the tube with a block having more area just to cut down on "wobble".
