Redridge is VERY right. Synergy did some other things to keep this from happening, but Redridge has a great solution here.

Unless they have changed the system, the hoses are all braided and need no further sheathing.

Check with Kerrigan Monday, as I don't remember exactly what he did. He's checked in on your thread though!

Stacy, I am sure the knowledge and advice you will get from your friends on this thread will far surpass my knowledge on this subject. We have removed an SC not installed one. The only suggestion I would make is get your self a tube of " Sil Glide". It can be found at your local NAPA store. Before making any connections you will want to coat the inside of the rubber hoses. This will help down the road with heat cycles on the rubber; but the biggest gain will be during assembly. If you assembled something before you should of , it will make it that much easier to slide off. Which is a huge gain if you get into those tight spots where you can only hold your tongue and breath for so long until it is assembled. I love this forum and the people on it, this is the way it should be.

With all my running around today I didn't get much time to work on it today(2 -3 hours) but here IS what I accomplished!
I mocked up the pump and bracket marked it with a pencil.
I then took the cross brace off and drilled two holes(17/64")mounted the water-pump and then re-installed.Also notice where I put on one of those Goodyear E-Z springs(to stop the line from getting kinked).I also decide to wrap the hoses with hockey tape for a cleaner look! If using these springs you will need to put them on before wrapping the hoses with any type of tape or covering because the springs are a tight fit!



I ran the hose a few times all the way to the front to check which route would be the best way.
I then pulled it out back to the D.S.(driver side) footwell and added another E-Z spring.



Here is where I ran it through the front D.S. wheel well.I removed the small bracket clip(seen in the pic) to make room above it for the hose.PLEASE be careful with that line,it carries coolant for the car AND is very fragile.When routing from this point to the front make sure you remember the inner fender piece must go back in place,so choose the appropriate route.In the pic you can also see how I followed the radiator hose.




The last pic shows the last E-Z spring used on this side.



I will after everything is done go back and fasten the hose with ties!

Stacy

Stacy is the perfect pioneer for this forum in doing this. I love it. I'm just so glad that I had a chance to be a part of it. (sniff, sniff)

Sooo, like, have you smoked any Mustangs yet Stacey? LOL JK.

I love this thread on so many levels. The car is so cool, the ***** to try this is incredible, and the fact that someday i wish to do the same thing to a car - just awesomeness all around.

So in additon to the SC Kit, what else is going on the car (or coming off) while its all torn apart?
