Hello all,
I have given up looking to find the correct location of the brake and fuel lines underneath the car, and how they are connected to the chassis. C10268 or just C10406# ?
I cannot trust what we pulled apart is correct and would greatly appreciate help/direction/photos to run these lines correctly in my RHD 3.8 FHC. I’ve attached a picture to where we are up to.
Thanks,
Glenn

Mind run along the offside along your line marked D but I can't be sure mine are right!

I have always run the fuel line on the drivers side for a RHD car, this is the same side as the fuel filter.
It is fixed with P clips on the outside of the channel ( nearest the sill ) there are holes a long it for that reason.
The brake line goes on the other side also outside the channel & uses special spring clips which you can get from SNG Barratt. The channel also has holes in it.
Hope this helps Neal.

Yes, when I converted my 3.8 from lhd to rhd, the brake & fuel lines originally ran down both the chassis rails, but as the Kelsey Hayes & reservoirs were moving sides, the brake line shifted to the same side as the fuel line - both now on the rhd chassis rail.

Should have read the first post properly as it did say 3.8 car.
What I said is correct for a 4.2 .
Sorry for the confusion .
