    Default Brake line installation help needed

    anyone have any pictures of their brake line installation at the pedals on a series 5 or 6 fwf? i'm having trouble finding the best way to route the lines to avoid rubs or kinking...

    Check the members photo albums, I know there is a shot of mine and I suspect others as well. This shot was taken to show the cylinders rotated 90 deg for more leg room.

    My bird is a 7, but the brake setup is the same as the 5 and 6.

    I don't have very many shots of the brake line setup but I picked out two shots that show a little detail that might be of some help.

    I put a loop in the lines and zip tied the loops so they moved together and provided a little addition stiffness or control over where and how they moved around behind the petals. It shows a little better in the second picture as the fluid makes the lines stand out a little more
