No pics [however look in my blog] but I ran the rear brake line down the inside of the top o/s rail of the tunnel chassis and the fuel line down the
bottom rail same side.
Electrics were then ran down the top rail of the n/s.

got my brake lines from russ bost. top quality, braided hose, PVC covered in a range of colours.
i did use braided throughout, for ease of installation, maintainance, and to use as few joints as possible

I agree, braided throughout isn't overly expensive - and last much better in these sort of cars....

Using braided where solid is called for is a bit silly IMO. Kunifer pipe lasts pretty much forever, holds a bend properly and doesn't abrade
whatever it touches unlike stainless braided aeroquip. It also swells less under pressure, is cheaper and available at almost any motor factors.
The advantages of aeroquip are...errmm..it looks shiny?

braided, easier to route if you change your mind, no need for flaring etc, won't stress fracture under vibration, PVC coated so won't
abraid through anything, less fitting need to leak.
not silly at all. race/rally cars brake systems are under a lot more abuse, and they're usually all braided

Using braid lines instead of kunifer on this type of car isn't silly it is completely daft.
Using braided lines instead of rubber/textile flex hoses on a road car isn't as daft but it has more disadvantages than advantages.
