Quarter Master clutch hyd. Lines
I am installing a 7.25 triple disk QM clutch. The hydraulic lines coming off of the release bearing are kinked when routed through the reliefs in the bellhousing/torque tube. I have come up with a few solutions but was wondering what others that has installed this clutch has done.

I've always drilled 2 new holes in the housing so that the lines can come straight through. Actually one of them might go through the OEM hole, and just drill a single hole. Anyway, I definitely drill at least one hole. I'll see if I can find a photo.
I've done this in several cars, and never had a problem because of it.

Just installed the exact same thing last night.
We had to drill a new hole for one of the lines.

To the OP....which car C5 or C6 ????? Makes a difference. I just had some custom lines made for the C5's.....No mods necessary to the bellhousing. Plug and play ...

A long night but trouble free install
1st test drive on my part resulted in an immediate stall
Will take some getting used to but this thing now feels like a rocket

Probably since it has a two piece bellhousing.
PM me your #'s......I have lines already built and I could send you some.
You will still have to take the feed line to a hydraulic shop to retain the OEM dry-break valve.

I tried drilling holes as well as custom lines both methods worked. I decided to go with the custom lines. Had some -3 lines made with 45deg end and straight end. Worked great. I have a Tilton master cylinder so the OEM dry break connector was not an issue for my application. Thanks for all the great help it was appreciated.

Installed the 7.25QM in Rx-Ben's C5 yesterday
Ben had some lines made up, no problem using the oe TT holes; I think he got the info from Danny? Russel makes the fitting into the OE master, no need for the stock QD, used a union
had the grind down a 10mm wrench for one of the slave bolts(plate under the slave)
Had some local NASCAR/Stafford Springs Sk/late model racers in the shop, they were drooling over the QM parts
