Fren Tubo & Oberon
I decided to replace the stock clutch line and slave with these. I haven't had the mushy clutch that has plagued some. I got this setup because I wanted a lighter clutch pull and it looks nice.

Added the Stahlbus bleeder

The braid on the Carbon line looks awesome

The obligatory Proti bolts

Very very nice HKMP7,
Is the FrenTubo kit came included with that very nice black banjo bolt with the white color logo of FrenTubo on top of the banjo bolt head? or is that black FrenTubo banjo bolt optional? That is a nice touch from FrenTubo

Mirror delete Signals
Replaced the bolts that came with the signals with a slighty longer Ti ones.

Hi, got these too.

I barely managed to fit both with supplied bolts. All 4 supplied bolts are in my case (also?) too short. Since bolts only enter threads of my CNC housings for ~1,5mm, instead of available thread depth being ~5mm.

According to Kyle from Futurismoto usability of available thread depth differs considerably from V4 to V4 and this is presumably normal. Therefore he supplied bolts with a length supposedly fitting any V4 without risk of damaging the topcap of CNC blinker should an installation utilize the maximum available ~5mm thread depth. Hmmm

Since all 4 bolts in my case only enter thread housings for ~1,5mm, I added some locktite to hopefully not loose them?...

How much longer are your Ti replacement bolts? And how far did the Futurismo supplied bolts enter 4 threads of both your CNC signal housings?

Appreciate.

I will have to measure them. I had the same issue with the bolts supplied being a bit shorter than I like. Which made it harder to get them installed.

*Update* the bolts are 12mm long. They are Mettec ti brand.
You can see on the package 5 0.8 x12

Tx 4 measuring!
Are you sure this extra 4mm isn't just a tad too long? Entering the block-offs thread for ~5,5mm in my case (with only ~5,0mm thread depth)
Potentially pushing too hard against or even de-capping the transparent top part of Kyle's CNC blinker?

These are super nice

They are the carbon lines with aluminum fittings. They retain the abs and all functions. Here are some more detailed pictures.





I love the look of them except for the crimped silver fittings. So I decided to paint the fittings that would be visible.





So I cleaned them taped them off and scuffed them for painting. I used a black semi gloss from krylon.



My paint booth.

Shhh don’t tell her I was painting in the house.



End results



I’m still working on a couple other components.

Yea don’t buy this. I wasn’t smart and didn’t bother to look for an alternative when I got the Brembo. Great setup but Not at all better than the Suter at half the cost
