How much room do you need? I've read that some people put a small dent in the tube, but I dont have a clutch line.

Maybe a local hydraulic place could make you up a new line--I'm thinking rubber but not sure if that's o.k. or not (I don't see why it would be a problem).

its a rubber line now. it is right where the collectors are as far as trying to put a dent in it. i am hoping i can rotate the fittings to make room and put a heat sheild around it. i don't know though, pretty tight.

Another option would be to make a metal brake line.
