GQ TD42 Turbo install, clutch line question

[danaz]

Hi All, I'm fitting a turbo to my TD42 GQ Patrol and the line from the clutch slave cylinder to the "upper bleed valve" – (attached to the fuel filter bracket) is in the way. It does a big loop near the firewall where the dump pipe will be. I have two questions:

1) Is this pipe required at all? I don't understand what it's actually there for.
2) If it is required could I just run a flexible line directly getting rid of the big loop?

Thanks,

Dan

you can remove it or you can bend it up out of the way. Bending it would be your best bet.

Got a pic??

I didn't have any clearance dramas on mine. It might be possible that a section of your line has been replaced at some stage and has had a longer piece put in.

Thanks jessie928, what is the advantage of keeping it?.... It doesn't appear to do anything.
