Default Running Brake Lines

I'm trying to work out the best way to take the brake lines around the diff and into a T Piece I wanted to run it around the top of the transmission tunnel, as I would have more clearance from the gearbox and propshaft, but I'd have to go around the handbrake plate and diff.

Has anyone got any photos of how they did it, before I make a mess of it Infact any pictures showing brake / fuel line routing would be great.

that was as far away from the prop as i could get it. look at it this way. if the prop gives up your have more to worry about than a brake line.

Looks good Ash, I was going to run my brakes and fuel on the drivers side, and the electrics on the passenger side. I've got some 25mm strip on the rails for fixing stuff to.

I think I'm probably worrying over little details that I'll look back on and wonder why I spent hours fretting over. I don't have a handbrake cable yet, so I'm unsure how much room that needs around the back frame. What I'm trying to avoid if fixing in a brake pipe and finding that is obstructs the handbrake / electrics / fuel pump / fuel filter / fuel lines.

hand brake cables will run over the top of the diff over the diff box frame and down to the front of the each drum. will take a picture tomorrow.
