Default Hydroboost line Clean up

For the Forum members who have a Hydroboost setup and wish to clean up/organize the look of their braided lines, Tallon has come up with the answer. Nice looking units that do the job and make the lines look better then a factory setup, IMO. Butch at Tallon seems like a good person\ and very willing to help in any project. Tallon machines it's own pieces right here in the USA. including all of the Hydroboost parts that they sell.

Tallon has supplied Hydroboost pieces to other companies but has now stopped that practice if I remember right. Tallon is making a Hydroboost mounting plate for my 3rd gen Camaro project. Tallon makes very nice looking mounting pieces for the Hydroboost setup. If you look at the bottom pic on the link here you will see some of the brackets that help clean up the look of those braided lines. Look in the store section for all of the pieces you will need for a Hydroboost setup in your C3.

Are you talking about those big aluminum looms ? I got those with my HydroBoost line kit, never did use them because of the way I ended up routing my hoses, they were too far apart

I would call up and talk to Butch about your issue with the hose clamps/seperaters. Butch and his crew have their own machine shop in Michigan and make all of the items they sell. Changing the spacing size between the hose openings on the clamps should be an easy task for a machine shop. The blank clamps wouldn't change much just the spacing of the holes will. Butch sounds like a person whose company is still small enough to listen to his customers and provide what they want in their Hydroboost setup.

I like the looks of the clamps though they're pretty expensive.

they have good taste in models and cars. The setups are sweet.....but I too have a custom install that I did, no way the loom will help me. (A supercharger is in the vicinity!
