Ed,

Its probably only an issue after a wheel falls off.

Check my previous entry. It gives Frank Fahey's phone number in San Diego. He is the one that "fixed" both my car and JPs.

I considered it cheap insurance. Plus the hub ring helped center the wheel on the hub. It took out all my front end shimmy which I thought was coming from those wonderful BFG Radial TAs.

Default Brake line routed thru fender

Skip- if a wheel is lugcentric I'm not sure a hub ring should be helping, as this would center the wheel on the hub. In any case, if it is lug centric then tighting the lugs in a "skip every-other lug" pattern finger tight, then light torque, then final torque should center the wheel around the lug pattern.

I'm not sure if this is standard or not. Armond at Cal Cobra routed my brake lines thru the fender wall and then down, to keep the header heat from saturating the brake fluid. With this I'm not sure if I would still need the brake shield that Ed makes.

Route from the master to the fender and where they come together below on the frame:


Here is what it looks like in the fender well (with a cover to protect the lines):

This is factory setup now. The heat shield protects the master itself and does work very well in our experience.

Armond is working on your car?
