LHD tandem mc brake line routing

PostPost by: lotocone » Mon May 07, 2012 9:47 pm

Does anyone have a photo of the original routing of the hard brake lines between the LHD tandem master cylinder and the steering column? I've searched the engine bay photo thread and other threads, but nothing I find shows the lines clearly.

Some old lines (probably original) that I came across seem to be bent to exit the master cylinder, then down under it, then forward along the fiberglass on the left side of the engine bay, then down under the steering column.

I'd like to follow the original routing, but I'm not very good at tube bending and an easier route would be to exit the MC and follow the top flange of the chassis without going under the MC.

Thanks for any help.

Terry,

Thank you, your picture does help a lot. I will probably route the new lines like the picture shows. It might be a little difficult keeping a gap between the 2 brake lines in the available space, but I'll see what I can do.

Hope to be driving again before long.

Similar to Terry's. Both lines are individually clipped to the frame.

Thank you Greg. The angle of the picture helps and the clips are a good idea. Your restoration looks great.
