Default LAPD remote clutch bleeder install question

Where'd you route your LAPD clutch bleeder hose? I have mine zip-tied to the fuel line temporarily, routed up toward the brake booster. When the torque tube is fully reinstalled and not just hanging there the bleeder should reach the top of the brake booster.

Seems like it's as good of a place as any other.

Tony do NOT tie it to the fuel line. It gets hot and chaffs. Brian (Cobra4B) had a lot of problems when he did that to his. Mine runs at the bottom and is zip tied away from headers. I have even wrapped it with some insulation shield to prevent it from getting hot. I will take some pics for you when I bleed the clutch soon

Cool, thanks. Yeah as per my post above it is only temporarily zip tied to the fuel line (it's about the only thing in the engine bay right now ) I know alllll about braided stainless and chaffing

So yours bleeds from the bottom? I am OK with doing that since I have a lift but was trying to figure out a way to route it so it would stay cool AND be able to be bled from the top.
