Hi
I'm sure Dave will explain that you should post technical queries in the technical section or in series 1 section as this is intended for restoration stories/galleries. The info you request is detailed in the knowledge base and manuals, do you have any, if not you are going to need them :scratchheadyellow:

Don't be, we all started out as noobs here as well.
AFAIK there's not a really brilliant set of diagrams showing exactly where the pipes run, although if you look in the brake section of the relevant parts manual (not sure if you're RHD or LHD and 3.8 or 4.2) there are drawings of all the brake pipes which show their shape. There are two Factory Fit threads here which have a lot of photos of original cars, which will also help.
You can buy brake pipe"kits" from companies like Barratts, David Manners etc. These contain copper pipes of the correct length which need to be bent to fit. Copper brake pipes are not legal in Australia where I'm from so they're not much use to me.
The fuel pipe is made of plastic. It runs from the boot bulkhead fitting over the top of the IRS along the inside of the arched box section that supports the IRS, Thence it runs along the outside of the chassis rail and up across the firewall to the fuel filter. Some cars have this section in metal tube. Some of us prefer to replace the whole plastic run with 1/4" steel pipe. If you do this you will need to modify the boot bulkhead so you can braze it onto the tube.
If you go here you'll find all of the relevant manuals and a whole lot more.
