Why do the lines from the brake MC bowl to the splitter have to be looped? I'm going to do it of course, but I never knew why.

Also, do I need to do the same for the clutch MC? Thanks.

I believe it is just for some slack, in case they get pulled or something like that, or they expand etc. At least that is what I understood. I don't think it has anything to do with how the system works.

The brake lines will "flex" or "bounce" because the cab [on rubber mounts] will
move slightly while the junction block is stationary on the frame. Its the same
for the hydraulic clutch set up.... the line is looped on the right side before it
travels downward to the slave cylinder.

Cool, makes sense. I thought that even if it was straight, it would bend enough. I suppose that is just too much stress. Thanks.

In my experience everything the factory does is for a reason.they dont spend any extra money on anything without a good reason so when in doubt put it back to the way they made it,especially on a system as important s brakes.
