Are you talking about stainless hard lines? or just braided stainless joining to original hard lines?
It's a pitty that VT's have soo much crap in the bays you keeping the aircon obviously?

Eitherway it looks good

why not just use alloy hard lines? easier to bend by yourself too. there a guy on Calaisturbo that does good packages for lines and matching fittings (speedflow style) missile peformance.

Aircon pretty simple unlbolts at firewall remove all related crap including that ugly condenser taking up unwanted intercooler space. Then you just need the shorter belt set-up
