Has anyone got any pics of routing of brake pipes on a 2a? Do they go over the bulkhead down to the chassis then along the top to the front wheels? It's been that long since I stripped it all out, I've forgotten where they went.

One pipe down from m cyl to splitter on top of chassis pretty much under and slightly in front of the clutch pedal, one pipe from splitter along top of chassis to osf brake flex, other pipe from splitter heads rearwards then along the back face of the crossmember then up and onto top of ns chassis rail to nsf brake flex, last pipe from splitter along inside face of chassis to brkt on chassis where it joins the flex.
I will get you a pic.

Many thanks Lynall, That makes more sense, didn't really believe it went up the bulkhead and back down the other side!

If it is the original chassis you will be able to see the little holes the screws went in that held the pipes on, little metal things, shows them as items 2/34/25 on one of the pics.
I actually saw a pic the other day and someone had routed the brake pipe as you suggested on the bulkhead, I guessed it must have worked, might be an air trap though.

Not the original unfortunately, the old one had more holes than a colander! New galv one.
