The challenge with this one is it goes front the mid-point of the drivers side, around the fuel pipes and along the tunnel before finally going up to meet the rear tee piece. I asked around on a number of forums for the best route and got several different approaches.
In the end I decided to send diagonally across and then between the 2 fuel pipes at the front. I also riveted from above using washers to protect the P clips so there wouldn't be any bulges under the carpet of the drivers footwell:
Then attach with P clips to the chassis member rather than the lowered part of the floor:
Once I got to the back I came across a problem. The manual shows the pipe going horizontally across the back then vertically up to the tee piece. When I measured the pipe remaining there wasn't enough length. I don't know how you could have used less on the front section to give more at the back. By going diagonally I could make it reach but didn't know if the route would foul anything. The picture below shows the Westfield route in red and my proposed route in green:
My concern was the diff sits very close to the frame at that side of the car. The only option was to fit the rear diff/suspension and see how much space there was.
Things were tight but there was definitely enough space:
and I got a bit carried away bolting stuff on:
of course it all had to come off again so I could drill the holes for the clips!
In the end I was really pleased with how it went in:
