Brake Lines

[DOLLER]

Hey guys, any one run hard brake lines in the cabin of the vehicle Ie down the inside of the firewall to then through the footwell and back under the car?? Its an un dash booster so the lines are starting in the cab anyway. I was going to run them in another tube for protection.
Trying to keep as much out of the engine bay as posible and away from the headers. any ideas????????????????????????????????

You might be able to use braided flexible hose/s inside the cabin which would make your life easier, but obviously it's really, really important to make sure that it's legal and safe.

I'd have a look at going through the floor near where the transmission tunnel meets the firewall so that the lines were well out of the way of the pedals and peoples feet, as well as being pretty much invisible from the engine bay.

Just want to stress that these are just ideas. Never done it myself and don't know what the ADR's say about using flexi on the upstream part of the braking system.

Thanks al good thoughts
Yeah I might go through the top of the tunnel a couple inches back from the fire wall so it cannot be seen from the engine bay. Then follow the inside of the tunnel around an down to the floor. Im a bit wary of going near warm spots!
Ill still have to run bulkheads through the tunnel/firewall and again through the sub frame cross member so it should work out ok. No footy tomoro so should have it plumbed by lunch time

should have it plumbed by lunch time

Good luck with that one

Don't forget that the ends of any hard lines that you run will need to be 'double flared' where they meet original FK brake fittings (like junction blocks).

Enjoy!
