Posted May 1, 2024May 1 comment_664723 Hey all! I'm slowly working through the auto to five speed swap right now and am ready to route the hard line. I have a hard line from the parts car (1981 ZX) that I was planning on using but seeing how complicated the routing is, I want to make sure before I start that this will work. I'm totally fine buying a prebent line for the 77 if it doesn't. Has anyone done this successfully? Should I just bite the bullet and buy the line made for the car? Thanks in advance!

May 1, 2024May 1 comment_664727 ZCD has the slave line bracket that you can drill and rivet to the inner fender well. From experience, Ask me how I know! Run the line first. Tie every thing in then mark it.

Run the line first. Tie every thing in then mark it. I was actually able to harvest the bracket from the ZX so I'm hoping to reuse that-- was planning on riveting it in.
