Hey Guys,

I am a bit of a dumbass. I got new brake lines made up but have somehow "misplaced" the oldies. Can someone shoot me a picture brake lines inside the engine bay (without the motor preferably) so I can see where the brake lines run. I am pretty sure that I remember it but just checking :)

Thanks dude's and dudette's

single or twin circuit?

single can't be simpler, the pipe comes out of the MC, down to the bracket on the firewall and into a T piece, the rear goes into the passenger side, and the line to the front subframe goes into the drivers side

Hey,

Single,

So the rear goes into passenger side, down into passenger side channel and then pops out at the back to screw into the centre of the rear T?

I think i Know where the old bits are. I just remembered that I gave them to the shop to make the new ones the correct length. :oops: :oops:

Guess I will get them back tomorrow.

not quite - I meant the passenger side of the T piece on the firewall, it goes down the firewall between the subframe and the body, then under the drivers floor and down the drivers side channel, between the rear subframe and the body, over the top of the rear subframe and into the proportioning valve

ok sweet. I thought it went into drivers from memory and fuel goes into passengers so I am happy you said that? Fuel over flow goes into drivers also. By that I mean the one that comes from the filler neck.
