ChampCar Tech Desk

The tech desk is used to ask technical questions and is not to be used as a post race tech line or to phish for how others built their cars. Please reference the BCCR as most questions submitted to the TechDesk can be answered by reading the BCCR. You can download the BCCR here: https://champcar.org/web/rules.php
VPI requests require the year, make, model, trim level, engine size, engine HP, Drive type (FWD, RWD, AWD, 4x4), auto or manual transmission, car weight, and all options.

2020-01-28 - Brake Line Encasement

Q.
We have purchased a brake proportioning kit from Flyin Miata.
https://www.flyinmiata.com/complete-adjustable-brake-proportioning-kit.html
We will be installing the adjuster inside the car next to the driver. Do we have to cover the brake line going to the adjuster? Is so, what do you suggest to us to cover the brake line. We are using a 3/16" steel brake line.

A.
Brake lines do not need to be encased.

Only fuel, oil and coolant lines need to be encased.  Any fuel, oil, or coolant lines (including Aeroquip steel braided lines) that pass through the driving compartment must be metal or encased in continuous steel conduit or aluminum tube. (Flex-conduit is not acceptable. Lines wrapped in the aluminum tape are not acceptable.)
