Anyone got pics of how they have routed front Brake lines

Im at the point on my Mk2 escort were i have to route my brakes from the front APs to the Pedal Box Slave,
I suspect the best way is to run a short -3 goodridge hose from caliper to inner wing then do a join the do Copper piping all the way from there?

any pics of the inner wing section behind wheels so i can get a look at how to route it?

I take it your running a bias box otherwise you would route them as standard? If so on mine I drilled a hole in the vertical strut top support nearest the bulkhead a little lower than the disc height with a long male fitting on the end of the braided line. Then ran copper from the pedal box into a t piece and then through the bulkhead either side (with bulkhead fittings) on the wheel side up in the top corner by the inner wing so it was nicely out of the way. Keeps the bay looking clean and pipes away from the heat of the bay that way

Trying to see what part of body this is ? Lol

You can see the Gaz shock on the right. The -3 hose goes through the uprights for the shock and it curves to create the 'S' and then goes through the Bulkhead and come out above my Bias pedal box.....if that makes any sense

That's basically the photograph of what I was describing! I also brought the rear line out there too on the drivers side and then crossed it to the other side of the car through the hole in the chassis rail under the front floor. Thinking about it mine may have been braided from the bulkhead but it doesn't really matter what you do it in, in fact hard line is probably better as they say braided can expand slightly and if the whole system is done in it the pedal can sometimes feel not as solid as it would be if still in hard steel/copper lines
