MK - 2.0L Zetec Brake Route
Can someone give advice on whether it is OK to route the front brke pipes up either side
of the the engine mount (red line) as I dont appear to have enough room to twin them up as shown.
Also can I run the N/S pipe on the vertical face of the chassis section (shaded yellow) if necessary.
Any pics of SVA approved solutions welcome.
Cheers

I have fitted them both on the same side of the engine mount. The pipe going to the other side of the car I have fitted on the bottem side of the
chassis rail with a p-clip. The other pipe I have fitted to the upper side of the chassis rail. I hope this makes sense.

The p-clips are mounted with the hole to the top, so the pipe is actually level with the underside of the chassis rail. So it sits more or less on the
side of the rail. It does not stick out under the rail.
However, normal cars also have the brake pipes fitted underneath the car.

Hi Steve
If you have a look at my archive you will be able to see where I have run my pipes on my Pinto Indy

but since you've already bent them to that shape, why not fasten one pipe with p clips in the top face of the tube, and the other with p clips
in the side of the tube.
2 pipes, nice parallel lines.
