Default Finally built the bottle holder for the spare tire well :)

I used the instructions LS1xxx (sorry forgot your name) posted (same ones that BIGBOS used)

Turned out pretty good... I only used 1 support underneath as the size of the top board is just the right size so that It can wedge in the spare tire well opening but not so small it tries to fall in

Also finally got my blow off hose done (just bought a connector and strand of 8 AN fuel line)

I hope that youre going to connect the other end of that line to a fitting that goes outside, If not and the line is just sitting in a hole.... OUCH. Youre going to have 3000 PSI going through that little line and you know whats its going to do? Good luck.

I'm using flexible fuel hose, if it was just pointed out a hole w/out being secured it would be forced back in by the pressure and empty in the car...

So I believe what he means is that I need to make sure I secure the line on the outside of the car

Get a bulkhead fitting to go thru the sheetmetal of the car and hook the line to that.

What pressure does the blow down valve open at? If the pressure never gets that high you won't have anything to worry about but, what if.....you'll look like this driving down the road <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> without that line secured. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I was planning on leading the line outside via the stock holes (the ones covered w/rubber bushings) and then using metal wire clamps to hold it to something on the outside

Here is a picture of a bulkhead fitting. Its just made to hook lines up thru "bulkheads" to keep lines from chaffing.

Jegs, Summit, and just about any reputable car shop should have them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

As long as you secure that hose with something you should be good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Here is a link to the page at Summit
