Hi, whilst I'm prepping the chassis, was wondering if it's better to run the front to rear brake line through the tunnel.

Interesting. How did you route the pipe Chad and how did you thread it through?

Hi Mark,

I did it when it was a bare chassis. I simply drilled a hole in the headstock and threaded the pipe through whilst looking down the tunnel through the front plate area.

Then a couple of cable ties where possible, a short piece of fuel pipe oround the brake line where it exists the chassis and all done
