I have to say it is frustrating this kit doesnt come with any kind of manual. I am not entirely sure why, there are a number of photos and PDFs on the supplied DVD but other than that theres nothing else. Good job plenty of other people have written about their builds or we would be stuck....
Anyway, it goes just above the steering column in here:
Looking at other blogs the front outlet goes to the rear, middle goes to offside front and back underside goes to nearside front. Looks like everyone runs the brake lines pretty much the same way so off we went.
We had already been warned about moving the brake lines too much as they will harden so we have put them roughly where they should be and the next job is to tidy everything up and clip it down. Two more panels needed putting on first, left and right hand front tunnels - these are the ones which are fixed on the opposite side of the chassis member to the next panel, so they require a bend in:
See the gap? We bended each panel in using a precision tool specifically designed for the job, AKA a broom handle (worked perfectly). I now know what the guys at GBS were showing me, it wasnt clear when we were there but now I see the two panels its obvious.
On to the brake lines, you can see where they have been routed:
Offside:
Nearside:
Rear T Piece, note the 4th outlet is for the brake switch - maybe there was a redesign or rethink because some people only seem to have 3 outlets and there seems to be a debate about whether to put the brake switch at the front of the car rather than the rear, but this came with the kit from GBS so I am going with rear:
How it looks now before we tidy everything up and fasten everything with P clips:
Nice brake pipes mate.
