Brake and Fuel line pics

[jrichards]

Anyone have pics of their brake lines and fuel lines. For every other project i have ever done I have always had the benefit of pre bent lines and a little anxious about how to do it and the best locations. Advice and pics would help a great deal. Thanks.

I just finished running my brake lines. Keep in mind that the pictures may show both how to and how not to do this. I wanted to keep the front of the drivers footbox area as clean as possible so I don't have lines coming through but underneath the footbox. Here are a few pictures276802768127682276832768427685

Very helpful. Where do you make the split from the front left and the front right? Also, dumb question but the right master cylinder is for the front brakes, is that correct?

[Bradyman]

I put the split for both front and rear at the left brackets to hold the flex lines. Pictures 1 and 5 show them but here is a better one for the front.27689
I used the right master cylinder for the front brakes but I don't see what difference it would make.
A friend let me use his tubing bender and flaring tool and having them made a huge difference.
Also I will be making some double clamps to hold the fuel lines this week in my machine shop. If you want some I could easily make a few extras. I will be running a return line.

That would be great! I am a running a return as well for my Fast System. The pictures were a huge help.

Jrichards, I finished the fuel line clips today. I think they will work pretty well.27762
Send me a PM if you would like some.

Thanks to you both for the photos. I got the front brake lines in the weekend and the photos were invaluable. I didn't however get my master cylinder reservoir installed. Any advice/photos on where to locate? I have just the one for both master cylinders. No photos or even instructions in the manual. Seems like there should be a reservoir for each of the master cylinders. One for each or a single reservoir adequate for both master cylinders?

The Coupe Complete Kit comes with one shiny stainless steel master cylinder. It is - compact. The plumbing includes a T to split the one feed to each brake piston.

The Roadster has an updated instruction on how to do this - but here is a picture of what I decided to do -- Mounted to the left of the big hole:

Rodster, I assume you ended up mounting it to the left of the large hole through as depicted in the one photo? Are you happy with it there? I think I am missing the hardware from the master cylinders to the hose. Anyone have any pics?
