Before I fix any of the panels I want to know where the brake lines are going. I have researched the recent blogs and have some photos from a factory build at GBS. Unfortunately the factory build was a left had drive and I had forgotten this. That confused me for a while.
I decided to star at the master cylinder with the single rear pipe first. Down and under the steering shaft mounting. Over the chassis member and along the driver side tunnel. Under the handbrake mounting and then between the two handbrake cables and under to the splitter.
Next the offside (drivers side) front. Down and under the steering shaft mounting as with the rear. Over the chassis member and the around the front of the drivers footwell panels, leading the pipe straight above the steering shaft and then along the under side of the upper outer chassis member.
Then the nearside front. Down and under the steering shaft mounting as with the rear and the offside. Over the chassis member and straight along the cross member. Then around the front of the passengers footwell panels, leading the pipe straight above the steering shaft and then along the under side of the upper outer chassis member.
This exercise made it obvious that the drivers and passengers footwell panels need to be fixed before much longer as the the routing of the fuel lines is only possible once the swirl pot is in place and the panels need to be fixed before that.
