Just made brake lines from each wheel to a t piece do they look ok ? Will slide a bit of silicone pipe were the pipes are held on the axle to stop it rubbing.

Any advice with brake pipe much appreciated as never made them befor but lowered it back off stands to check Clearance and all seems fine

I stand to be corrected but i would have the T on the axle then run a flexi pipe to the body as the copper pipe will fatique and fail with axle movement .

Ah ok cool so if I move it to the axle should be ok.

I would have a quick look online for some underside shots of finished ones to give you a better idea of where things go and how they where piped .

Brake pipes attempt 2

Run them like in pictur I found. And will make some little brackets to hold them. Run along front of axle and with a flexi to body.
