brake line bulkhead connectors
My side panels will run the full length of the car with cut outs for suspension etc. Is it ok to end the solid brake lines with a bulkhead connector
attatched through the side panels or would it have to mounted to the chassis with a bigger hole through the body for the flexi to go through. Side
panel will be spaced off from the chassis slightly.

as said the end of the flexi's are generally long enough to accomodate a large washer either side of the panel the solid pipe then screws onto
it. I put an 25mm x 3mm L shaped bracket on the bottom rail to support pipe coming through panel as sva inspector wasn't to keen on just being
supported by the fibreglass side panel ( previously been warned it was one of his quirks )

thought about this a few times - i then welded on a bracket to my chassis. I'll drill a hole and rubber line it in the side panel.
