I am looking for pics on clean way to route brake/clutch lines through firewall. I purchased a triple brake/clutch reservoir that I’m mountain just outside firewall.
Three hoses and three 3/16 Steel lines.
Thanks!!!

Here is what I did:
I have the triple reservoir mounted on the frame rail. A little hard to see in this pic.

I routed my reservoir lines the same as Scott, but took my front brake line out with the lower 3/4" frame member.

Through the clutch cable opening since I am using a hydraulic clutch

It's a mess right now, but in this photo you can see my reservoirs mounted to the firewall and will pass through the footbox to the master cylinder. The hoses will be hidden once the aluminum is in place.

One more option: bulkhead fittings.

I wanted to eliminate using bulkhead fittings. I drilled the holes just large enough to pass the fitting through and used grommets. Worked out great. The actual brakes lines I ran along side the 3/4" frame tubing and sealed it later.
