Front brake pipe route

I have forgotten the route the brake pipe takes from the engine side of the front frame rail to the outside to mate with the front brake hose. :?

It does not seem to want to go any way. :worry:

Under the frame rail, then it loops up and back down to the bracket. Yours seems too short.

I have thought about going through the access window, but it's impractical.

That was how I remembered it but as you say it seems short.

It must have shrunk in the wash because I have never removed it. :lol:

I will have another look. It might just need to be straightened out more as it has been bent about a bit.

Ooops. :oops:

I looked under the car to see why the brake line will not reach.

The reason is that it is the line going to the rear brake. :oops: :oops:

Well in my defence it has been 3 years sice I took the thing apart. :roll:
