Hey Mark!
When you installed your new front braided brake lines how did you secure
the middle section of the hose to the shock mount?

No I didn't.

In order to get the tab on the brake hose to align with the slot in the caliper, the brake hose ends up back towards the inner wheel well.

I initially put the brake hose next the shock mount with zip ties but it made for some very tight turns and the tab would not align with the slot. So I went about mounting the tab to align with the slot and see where the hose wanted to go. It naturally went to the back of the wheel well, directly under where the hose connects to the brake line, and it is well away from the tire.

Would you like a pictures?

Pictures would be great. No hurry as I'm not going to install the hoses until
my replacement displacers arrive from Blighty.

Here's a couple pictures for you Rich showing how the hose is routed.

That seems to make sense.
Thanks Mark!
