Brake pipe routes

[NeilW]

Hi guys,
Just about to start installing the brake pipes, having read through some other builds I see several methods of installation but I am a bit stuck on how many pipes I should run through the trans tunnel. I was planning individual pipes to both front wheel, one pipe from front to back with a 'tee' to split to rear wheels.
Is there any concerns to run the tee split at the rear as opposed to the front?

Thats what I have done. I got some brilliant clips for the transmission tunnel that holds two 8mm and one 5mm pipe so the fuel feed and return along with the brake pipe run together. I don't know if you have sourced flexible brake pipes yet but https://sites.google.com/site/hydraulicforkitcars/ is a good source and is run by another board member, Sylvain. (Vought)

Thanks Ian, so your running 1 5mm pipe from the front for brakes then splitting into 2 at the rear? and 2 8mm fuel pipes for feed and return.

I've already put some Ali sheet on the inside of the tunnel to fasten the pipes onto, I was just going to use the p clips with rubber inserts but the type you mention maybe better.
You got any links where you got them from?

Thanks again

Thats correct http://www.jetpress.com/Products.asp...eClips-Triple/ is the clip I've used. If you are using the Sierra rear uprights then Sylvian can have made ups ome flexi pipes with an angled bend on so you don't have clearance issues. see https://sites.google.com/site/hydrau...s/special-case (the orange uprights are on my car)

Thanks for the links, exactly what I should use. I am running discs on the rear but the flexis look ideal.

I've used the same clips as Ian - they are very good. Also 2 pipes to the front, one to the rear and split with a T piece... debated on a pressure reducer (I'm running discs), I guess I'll just have to see!

I welded on some tabs to the side of the drive tunnel and riveted an aluminium strip in position to hold the clips.
