Brake Pipes - Front pipes A, B and C

Fitted the 3 longer pipes at the front. I debated about the route of the 2 that went from the front t-piece to the flexible brake lines. The manual shown the lines running along the inside of the chassis member but most of the pictures from other build sites show the pipe running along the underside. As the t-piece is underneath the routing is much easier. In the end I went for the easier route. I don't believe anything will foul the lines but only time will say if this was a good decision.

The connection to the primary port on the master cylinder is really tight. It has to have a bent very tight to clear the clutch:

Here is a picture of the front t-piece from underneath (it was taken after I had lifted the chassis onto its side). It shows the location of the t-piece underneath the chassis strut and how the 2 lines going to the front brakes fit a lot easier if they run along the underneath rather than the inside of the chassis:


Here is one of the pipes going from the front t-piece to the connector with the flexible lines:
