8.7 Brake System
The brake system must operate all four wheels. Dual master cylinder pedal assemblies are allowed. Hydraulic fluid lines may not have removable connectors inside the drivers compartment. Driver adjustable brake bias is allowed.

I'm curious as to whether or not this pertains to bulkhead connectors on the firewall that reroute the lines to simplify the system. Would they prefer us just run the line straight through an open hole that risks chafing?

Any insight? (just talking about the inside firewall attachment, I won't run a honda prop valve ;))

Can you check with the sanctioning body? Based on my interpretation, if I have a bolt cutter I can certainly snip off anything within reach from the driver's seat.

I'm also not sure how you can mount a brake bias adjuster like that unless you rear-panel mount it behind the firewall.

Or you could put a shield around the bulkhead connectors. Would that mean the driver can't undo them?

I have mine routed along with the body harness wire loom.
