Yeah those hoses are a joke. Not easy to replace either. I used the factory routing when I put the VT booster into my VS - you shouldn't have any dramas doing the same, plus probably puts less stress where the hose joins the alloy.

I bought a whole heap of those o2 sensor bungs from china and the plugs to go in them too. They were a only a few bucks each and so easy to weld in too. Took ages for them to arrive though. I've used more than I thought I ever would haha

Every time I look under the bonnet those AC hoses wind me up, with all the accesories off the engine the AC hose from the pump to the condenser just sticks out like a sore thumb, almost as bad as the trans cooler lines which I'm considering throwing more braided lines at...

First mock up of bracket seems like it will fit well and pedal height seems near spot on.

You can also see the M10 to M12 adapter for rear brakeline in this picture.

Ok, this is just a note for myself for future reference.
For drivers side Rocker cover to come off/on with the new big VZ booster, #7 intake rocker (the very back one) needs to be reasonable open on the valve for clearance.
This is approx 120-150 crank degrees on the balancer.
