Running the brake line front to back

[Runningwild]

Got all my lines done except the one that goes through the chassis from front to back.  Where does it go in the chassis?  Found these holes???

[Runningwild]

Yes my water Coolent tubes are both on the bottom to make room for the cable shift.

On the TC the brake lines run along the bottom of the backbone. I'm guessing the S2 is the same.

[Runningwild]

Thanks but what holes does the line come out of the chassis.  I can bend it so it lays on the bottom of the chassis.   Tom

My S2 is as BDA says, along the bottom of the frame, next to the body.

IIRC, my frame had two (the TC has dual brake circuits) holes in the 'T' that the lines go through and from there, along the bottom of the backbone.

[Runningwild]

Ok I get it. Thought it was inside the frame. I see the holes in the T and how it goes along side the frame.  Thanks

On an S1, the line runs on top of the chassis (just a point of information).

Here is where the rear brake lines run through the "T" section.

Thanks Joji

I routed my rear brake line inside the chassis tunnel on the drivers side.  I threaded a piece of clear plastic over the brake line to cushion it against the inside of the tunnel.  I always thought that the factory location left the brake lines subject to being crushed if you bottomed out or had a large rock pop up off the pavement.

I have routed my lines under the carpet, starting going through the steering column hole and exiting where the throttle cable goes out under the seat.

I made up the lines in copper in two pieces so it was much easier to fit, joining them about where the front of the seat is located.

HI:After getting my wife to hit the brake pedal I realize that my brake line(shown in diag.) is spewing fluid so it may not be my MC as first suspected.This topic is exactly what I have to go through but what are the true fittings(A) name in the diag.?
Brake fittings come in all shapes and sizes so  one needs to be very specific(one that is recognized by the NAPA people).
I replaced another line using the double flaring tool and to get a good bubble flair is a practice thing especially when you are on your back on a barn floor which still smells of its previous occupants.
Again thanks for any info.

On early cars they are 3/8 x 24 threaded fittings for ISO/Girling bubble flares.  Later cars may use metric threaded fittings.

HI:Thanks for the get back.I found an old rusted out one from a previous repair(can't believe I kept it). It's a 7/16 X 24TPI which is unusual because most 3/16 brake line is 3/8 but no this one is 7/16.I know most 7/16 is for 1/4 tubing so once again into the learning curve.
I am trying this from the UK and will report back:
