So ,you're laying the MLV right over the CCF? Hmmmm, yeah, it will be new car quiet inside I'm sure!! I'll have to check that sound deadener showdown site out and do some reading. Thanks Joe, it's looking awesome

Great work on the sound deadener. Also for what it's worth when I was doing my research on the brake line loops, it seems that the consensus was that it was necessary with rubber bushings. I decided not to run any loops in my car, but rather a slight wave if you will to account for any flex. I'm running solid aluminum bushings so I doubt there will be any flex and I haven't had any issues in 3 years with my car.
Yes, MLV has to go on top of the CCF. The CCF alone isn’t supposed to do much, just like putting in a carpet. The CCF acts as a decoupler basically just a separation between a hard surface. The MLV is really what’s supposed to make everything quiet and absorb/deaden outside sound. Hopefully it’ll be worth it. Check out the site. Has a lot of useful info.
Here you go Andrew, I also bought a gallon of the HH-66 glue on Amazon as well. 100 sqft wasn’t enough of the MLV for me. But then again I’m really putting it everywhere. Even inside the rear quarter panels from trunk to where the door striker is. I haven’t measured but I need a large piece for the 2 doors, rear quarters, and a piece for the center of the trunk. I’m thinking maybe another 40sqft. So soundeadenershowdown site recommended 140 sqft which seems pretty accurate.

MLV layer done! I haven’t done the doors yet as they haven’t been painted. I’m also going to put a layer of CCF and MLV on the rear quarter panels to sandwich between the metal and the door/quarter panels.
Also I was able to fit 3 layers of CCF on the roof since I had extra material. Hopefully that’ll insulate the car from from sun more.
Nice! I am definitely going to do something like this as part of my GTO update. Any recommendations for what to use for thermal control on the firewall?
The site recommends the CCF as a thermal layer. I put 2 layers on the firewall, trans tunnel and entire floor front to back.
According to the site it says you can use a foil lined CCF for firewall and trans tunnel. You can use this, it’s available in different sizes. I don’t think you’ll need that much if you only do firewall, trans tunnel and floor. Then again it’s pretty cheap might as well use it in the roof etc.

Thanks!
This was my first time doing brake lines. I tried to order a complete brake line kit from inline tube, but the amount of modifications I would need to make to make it work with the IRS, didn’t make sense. I have never made brake lines before so I picked up a brake flare tool and a bender along with nicopp lines. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. Hopefully, no leaks!

very few people divide the front right/left. I don't know why. I did mine like you
Really? My proportioning valve has an output for 2 fronts and 1 rear. That’s why I did it
I did the same as you both and have two lines for each front brake caliper. I'm curious if there is any advantage/disadvantage to running them one way or another? When I brake, it will track straight. Not sure if there is a possibility for one to have slightly more pressure than another?
I believe that even from the factory they are divided at the distribution block, for two separate lines up front.
Joe, what are you using for the rear flex lines. I've bought some AN fittings, but haven't got around to measuring or looking for the flex lines yet.
John,
I was really unsure what to do for the IRS. There isn’t much room there so I just did the simplest I think. I ran a single nicopp line from front to rear. I bought a brass Tee with 3/8-24 inverted flare female all three sides. Top input into the tee is the solid line front to back. Then I bought 3/8-24 inverted flare to an3 adapters. From the an3 I connected flex lines. My IRS kit came with flex lines and an elbow adapter that goes into the caliper.
Here is a link to the 3/8-24 inverted flare to an3.
