this part hits the master brake pump ...my option is to grind it that much or bend a brake line....my lines are still straight and not bent. i dont need to i used a clAMP AND made enough room

i had a mechanic look and he said grind....he said its ok it wont really make the part so weak it will fall apart

a pic of my fixed lines

Wow, I've never heard of such a fitment issue with the JRSC. Can you post a pic of this?

basil, i really can't tell what you are trying to say.....

"my lines are still straight and not bent. i dont need to i used a clAMP AND made enough room."

the part you have draw the black outline on is the jackshaft assembly. it's not shown in position on the vehicle. maybe if you bolted it (as much as you can) to the manifold and took a shot we could tell what was actually making contact.

it's not uncommon to need to bend the break lines, you know this much. there really isn't ANYTHING else that should be in the way. a bit of contact between the pulley on the drivers side of the jackshaft assembly and the shock tower has been seen on many cars. however, this is not the issue you're talking about (i think?!?)

to summarize, you should NOT cut that notch in the jackshaft casting. there's a reason it's not fitting properly....

AFter I got my JRSC installed, the brake lines were bent towards the outside of the chassis to prevent it from hitting the main belt.

If its hitting the master brake pump, I had that problem too and it turned out to be a faulty stock rear motor mount....I just upgraded to PRI, that could be your problem? The engine would torque and hit against the pump for me.

here are the updated pics of y i need to grind it.....as of now i didnt bend any brake lines and do not want to...if i grind this away the jrsc should fit fine

Ok, I thought that what you were saying above was that the jackshaft assembly itself was hitting the master cylinder. I would sooner bend the line than grind out a large piece of the jackshaft. Fear not, just bend it slowly and carefully. I haven't heard of anyone yet damaging a brake line during the JRSC install.

yea but my mechanic said grinding it is way easier

but who here tried do do their own?

i just bent the ****, but i did mine all wrong and had to use zip ties and it still rubs a bit....where the heck are you supposed to bend it anyway?
