Default Hydroboost,lines,o-ring calipers-almost done

The black box arrived Friday and I must say the quality is there.Started yesterday on the swap.The hardest thing on changing the booster was getting the pivotpin clip back on.I left the seat in and used deepwell socket and about 18"extension with swivel.No problem to remove or install the 4 nuts.Used a 12" pair of hemostats to get that :cuss clip back on.Installing new ss flex and hard line set also.Installed the front lines and o-ring kit with little trouble.Found the rear MC line a touch short with the HB,took a bit of effort to get it in place.Then to the rear,installed cross over and flex lines,blocks and o-rings.So far so good, now for the $68k question.Any tips on installing the front to rear line?I can see where it would be real easy with the body off but I'm going to resist the" while I'm at it" bug. After this I sure hope I've got brakes to my likeing. :D :
