Been scratching my head the last few days about the exact routing for the various underbody pipes and cables on my '68 Cooper. Some of it is fairly obvious, but I can't find any pictures of what it really should look like. Any help with the routing of the hydrolastic pipes, brake pipe (single line), fuel pipe and battery cable would be fantastic!

Cheers

Thanks for the info! Here's a picture of where I'm up to so far.

Front clip

On the front clip, does the hydro pipe clip sit behind the wider (more flexible) part of the clip, or the inner (more rigid) clip?

My recollection tells me its the latter, but I'm just not sure! ... And if that's the case, where does the brake line go on the front clip?

Thanks!

when you are ready for final fit purchase a couple of mts clear plastic tube dia big enough for hidro pipe cut it @ 100mm and slit it and put around hidro pipe where clips are to stop pipe vibrating and chaffing through pipe, do same with fuel and brake lines..................

Thanks! That's a top tip. I know that there was something similar originally, but these have long since disappeared!
