Ive looked at loads of photo's of builds to help me decide which way seems best to route my brake pipes and have come to a halt

VILLAGE IDIOT i hear you cry!

I see Hellfire has changed his at least 4 times, anyone got some good pics to help me?

Would like to get them finished tomorrow along with the chassis floor and the suspension

There's a fair few pics in my archive that might help.

It was a bit awkward at rear by diff,but i got there in the end.
where pipes ran through diff area i protected with rubber hosing,just as a precaution against any vibration against chassis.

Thanks guy's for your replies & pics
Sorted the brake lines out this morning, hit a snag with riveting the floor, there was not enough rivets, in my kit, i though there was but it wasnt till i opened the pack to find that they were 3 different sizes, so off i went to the local B&Q, what a waste of time, then on to various motor accesory shops & hardware shops to no avail

so 3 hours later i came home, really wanted to get it back upright again to start putting the suspenders & stockings on........
sorry suspension & shockers on

Spent rest of today waxoiling through the rivet holes in the chassis ( OK i was Bored!!!) and putting the bushes into the wishbones, cleaning & deburring the inner metal bushes and finally a nice coat of copper slip before i compressed them home.

Drained the 4X4 diff & refilled with castrol EPX 80w 90 GL5, quite a difference in colour!

Oh well goner work on it as much i can this week, all of saturday, then sunday woohooo, Stoneleigh here i come
