got some stainless braided line. not sure how im going to route it yet tho.

[611]

Don't know about the B series but there is a nice route down the passengers side, even has nice pre-shaped bit under the cross member and chassis and have routed it up where the steering column would be on the left hand drive. I didnt notice it before and was going to go the normal route under the drivers side.
I have some nice stainless P clips 10mm spare if you want a few? bought loads and only used about 8 so far :-) i drilled a hole in the floor and pop riveted the P clips in and its nice and clean and secure like that.
