Hands up, who has found the best route for their brake pipes on their Indy

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
