(Part 2 is here)
Completed installing the brake lines behind the cross member, and although probabaly a bit tighter than the original factory installation, it appears to have come through without a problem. The lines don't actually touch the cross member flanges, but are close enough, I think, to still warrant the anti-chafing cover. Elsewhere, not all clips are installed yet, but it's getting there slowly.
In these views: line and cover installed (in case you notice, prop shaft is just being temporarily held inplace while waiting for correct bolts....)
In this view, the clip attaching the line to the battery holder. The drive screw repeatedly sheared here, and so in the end it was a screw/nut that got the job. The screws appear to shear fairly easily, even with a 1/8" hole drilled, which is frustrating (there's that word again) as then another hole has to be drilled as I can't get the piece of screw in the hole to come out. Are different grades of steel being used these days, than were used originally?
