The longest brake line is a bear to deal with. It winds through the main cabin, snaking around the pedals then along the tunnel next to the driver's seat, then out the back of the pan to marry up with a junction. Two questions were raised that seem to make sense to me. 1. If the cabin gets wet and the main line is under the carpoet then it will stay wet and rust, just like metal pans. 2. If there's a leak, you might not figure that out until it's too late because it hard to see where the leak is.
That's when someone on the Bradley GT site mentioned how much sense it makes to run it on the bottom of the car like most modern day cars. Easy access, easy to repair, easy to spot any trouble and now you don't have to worry about it taking all those twists and turns - Genius!!
So that's what I did. I did drill an extra hole so the original drain hole below the master cylinder wouldn't get stopped up. I then added a grommet to protect the hose from rubbing against the metal and used several rubber coated electrical mounting clips.
Now comes the fun of having to bleed the brakes all over again.
