Brake line routing forward of firewall

[kevinsrv7.com]

Does anyone have pictures of how they routed there aluminum brake lines, forward of the firewall to the landing gear legs? On a taildragger.

Thanks

The photos are of other stuff but basically I came straight out of the firewall, looped over to the horizontal brace on the engine mount and run via adels to the right main. The left main just loops out and follows the gear leg. I can have better pics in a couple of hours.
Underneath the belly looking at the exhaust clamps but you can see the brake line running under the engine mount tube. I've been happy with this so far, almost everything is on FWF and it's not in the way.

Bend to the horizontal brace.

Poor pic of the brake line but you can see the 2 adels that hold it on the horizontal piece of the mount (in the shadows behind the battery cable-exhaust hanger-throttlecable bracket.)

From the horizontal tube transitioning down the gear leg (ignore the zipties they are gone) I used a piece of fuel line as a cushion.

My 6

I routed my right stainless steel (hard line) behind the firewall and put a stainless bulkhead fitting , then flex line going to that gear leg.

Plan it carefully when behind the firewall.

Mine is an experiment to keep the flex hoses the same lengths.

This should help keep similar pressures for each brake.

The hard lines do not expand. It should work well if bled properly.

Thanks guys for the quick response. Andy great pics. Some good ones of the exhaust hangers also.

I forgot to snap a new pic of the lines at the firewall while I was at home. It's my first rodeo so my routing may not be the best, just my interpetation!
