clutch line inside car has anybody ever ran their clutch line through the inside of the car? Trying to think of a way to keep the heat away from it. Mine is wrapped up tight in heatwrap and it still goes soft after a spirited run.

I was going to do it with my swap car. If I ever make my own line out of -4an I might look into it. Not sure the stock line can make all the bends and twists to get itself back into the master once its back outside.
For heat protection, I found that just regular heat wrap wasnt doing it. So I used aluminum foil, rubber fuel/heater hose, and then accel kevlar spark plug boot sleeves. Im pretty sure I can lay the line against my headers now and not have a problem. I have the line so that there is so space tho, and Im confident that my clutch fluid boiling issue is solved. Ill know in a week or so when the car is back on the ground.

Haha... Yeah well, its kind of a pain in my 87 to get to the line. I already have a stainless heat shield that i made, but its so darn tight. Figured I might as well go overboard and be safe. I had the extra boot sleeves laying around. We'll see tho! If I can go awhile without seeing the black fluid, ill be happy.
