    Double-check on my brake line placement, Mk4

    Hi there,

    I'm woefully behind on posting my progress on my build thread. However, I'm at a step that I want to confirm I'm not painting myself in a corner that I'm going to regret later.

    I've routed my front brake lines much like EdwardB has done, though not nearly as artistically stunning as his. Sample Pics:IMG_6267.jpg

    I'm attempting to run my rear lines from the M/C, down the angled 3/4" square tubes to the inner firewall behind the foot pedals, then down thru the driver's pedalbox floor.. much like EdwardB and others have done. I'd like some help to double-check that I haven't run the lines right thru where I'll need to mount something else (e.g. fuse panel, carpeting, wiring, etc). Sample Pics: IMG_6313.jpegIMG_6314.jpegIMG_6310.jpegIMG_6311.jpg

    In the first picture, you can see where the line cuts across the front driver's panel (on the inside) before diving down to go thru the floor. I tried to leave enough room behind the line to put some form of insulation (Sound/thermal) and put carpeting on top. I've verified none of the pedals hit anywhere.

    My build is a Mk4, 302 w/ Sniper 2, painless wiring harness, using 3/16" steel lines provided by the Complete kit. Let me know if you have any guidance for me and if additional details would be helpful. As always, much appreciate your help!!

    Thanks,
    Jay
