Rear brake line routing

Hi All,

I am a bit concerned about my rear brake line route. I put it in so it is not between the spring plate and the body but when it is on the floor it is close to the CV boot and the handbrake plastic. Does anyone have a picture of the correct routing?

Hopefully you can see from the pictures where it is!

Cheers

Roger

Thanks James, It doesnt actually touch anything the way its done, but its too close for comfort!.

Looks like it should run over the top of the spring plate. You have prompted me to have a look in the Dempsey book to see if there is anything in there.

It should route through the hole/slot in the spring plate as you can see from my pics.

The correct pipe is available from D911 - it needed a few tweeks to get it to fit on mine, but went on in the end... :roll:
