I was wondering if anyone here has done a hard line install (solenoid to plate) instead of having to loop your extra nitrous braided line to make it work. I have an idea of how i would do it, place the solenoids under the trucks plastic cover, and have hard lines going from the solenoid to tb plate for a stealthy look.
Just want to see your photos!
Second question for those who have flaired that small of a tube, is it easy to flair? I flaired some Summit brand steel tubing 3/8 in size with a summit brand 37* flairing tool and it was a super hard to do. Ive flaired brake lines with a snap-on's double flairing tool and it was way easier. could be the tool and or the material size.
thanks,

everyone else wants to see some pics too...

 

Going to be a tight fit with the noids under the cover. Dont have any hard line pics but alot of braided line pics. You just looking for alot less line's in the bay going with the hard lines?

 

Hardline isn't that bad to deal with. You can use a standard brake line flare, I know its not the same angle, but it works just fine. I have some pics of a plate I hardlined on my car. Its not a truck but you can get the picture, I can post up later tonight.

 

I do not have any pics of truck plates hardlined. We do alot of work with hardline.A good tool is important.

I'm going for the less is more look.. so basically I dont want people to see it and focus on the nitrious. I think it would take away from the under the hood look too and Im pretty sure it will fit no problem under the intake cover. When I setup a friends solenoids on his truck intake I bet money that it would tuck and I dont like to loose expecially money
The way I laid the solenoids out was the nitrous on the passenger side so the nitrous line was on only on the passenger side and the fuel solenoid on the drivers side. I got the fuel from the fuel line going to the rail before it went to the rail and sent it to the solenoid and then to the plate. Maybe I can get him to take a picture...
good to see some posts, and thanks for the tips.

I asked my friend to snap a few pictures of his setup and this is the best picture that he sent me. I think he took it with a camer phone, but you can see how the solenoids are mounted. Shoud not interfere with the cover at all. I had to enhance the bracket in photoshop for ease of viewing.



Maybe the solenoids could be mounted horizontal to hide them even more if they hang below the cover? who knows...
