Another idea I have, is to run the brake lines and wiring inside the wishbones. They are hollow, so why not ? Of course you have to think about strength, but you can't build a kick ass car without taking a few brave decisions. I am doing the wishbone idea myself.

It wouldn't be the first inboard Roadster. 3GE built one inboard chassis (and it's on the road - it belongs to someone on here and it goes really nicely
).
And you would be silly to run fluid lines through hidden components. You have no way of seeing if there is an issue with the lines e.g. corrosion. You could have a real problem with the brake lines chafing with suspension travel, they wouldn't be adequately supported running though the wishbone. Plus, the most you'd be able to hide away is about 6" of line - hardly worth the effort IMO. It may also be against C&R/IVA.
