Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and was looking for some advice. I'm working on my first true frame off. As part of that I'm laying the new brake pipe lines (or about to). I've seen different layouts used (e.g., DAP, ECR) but can't get a clear full view of EXACTLY where they should run on the chassis. The green bible has not been particularly helpful on this point with a vague diagram that doesn't include reference to the chassis, nor a dual system which is what I have.
I've heard you need to be careful on placement of the pipes to avoid the possibility of the body pinching them or putting them too low on the chasis which might allow damage from road debris.
Is this all hype or a real concern? Any thoughts and pics of your own layout greatly appreciated.
