Brake pipe routes

I am at the Brake pipe routing stage. What is the best /acceped /proven way to route the pipes. where should the flexi pipe brackets be welded to?

i reckon the best idea ius to leave them till the bodywork is in place, then you can see where it naturally sits. thats what im doing anyway to avoid hassle later on.
they must not touch anything on the way too (diff etc...)
ive done my copper ones with the fuel pipe on drivers side of transmission tunnel, then the flexi mounted by the handdbrake cable tube things. should have a pic in my archive.

Are the pipes in the engine compartment usually attached to the to frame or the bottom frame on their way to the front wheels. The right hand pipe - does it pass from RH to the LH side at the fire wall or at the radiator?

ps. I have a floor mounted pedal cluster.

I ran my my front pipe across the buldhead, along the engine support rail (G1) at the bottom of the engine bay, then split to run along the front (E) to the uprights.

The rears run down the drivers side of the tunnel (at the top) then down the rear tunnel support to B1 where it attached to the flexi running to the axle.

There are pictures of the brake installation on my site PioneerX Build

Hope this helps
