Routing of Tick Speed Bleeder
So I've just installed the T56 and all of the new Tick Hydraulic upgrades. Now, just wondering what setup and routing everyone has for their speed bleeders. Pics are always welcome!

There are 2 tabs in the casting of the transmission that I drilled holes in to hold the clamps I used. Then I mounted it to the back of the transmission cross member. The clams I used are for wire and tubing, you can get them at any hardware store. These are what they look like. https://www.google.com/#q=wire+hold+down+clamps

I dont have a pic but I moved mine from beside the clutch reservoir to right underneath the driver door. I went above a heat sheald and strapped it along with a couple of zip ties. I found that even tho I would be cautious and put rags, I would sometimes end up with a mess of brake fluid in the engine bay and then scramble to wash out spilled brake fluid. There was just not enough slack in the remote bleader line when I ran it up the engine bay. With the bleeder below the driver door, there is much more slack and no worries of making a mess/ or getting brake fluid anywhere near your paint.

A little unorthodox but I punched through the rubber boot over the shifter hole and stuffed it in the console. Just sit in drivers seat with a plastic cup and two wrenches.

I've at least for the time being routed it into the engine bay. behind the heat shielding by the catalytic convertor, up and over the steering shaft (where it mounts to the firewall), and then back over by the clutch master cylinder reservoir. I'll try to get a pic next time I go "home" to see my car. Just a couple zip ties I can cut, add a plastic tube and then run it to a bottle as the guy with the GTO has done.
