Hi does anyone have a pic or could take a pic from underneath of the route the pipe from the upper brake reservoir takes from cab to underside thru inner front valance. This is on the early model (early 68) with the metal pipe from the kidney shaped res, the pickup I've bought has had some work done on front end and no pipe was there I'm trying to figure out route. Thanks nick

My Bus isn't the best example, but it's original.
From the reservoir.

Down into the nose.

From the cabin to under the floor.

To the master cylinder connection.

This looks like it would be a real bitch to install as one piece, I think a separate junction about 3"-4" from where it passes through the lower, inner nose panel. Either underneath or in the cabin where it can't be seen (if you're expecting a really anal concourse type inspection.).

I hope this helps you.

That's brilliant tdctdi but where does it actually come out of inner valance? Not sure which hole to stick it in, so to speak!!
I do have the og clip underneath which is a bonus I suppose, I have a seal for top end which ends in a c, does anyone know if that super seceded the original part ending in an a? Same numbers just different letter
Thanks for help

On a separate note tdctdi if you are stripping van down (or have) do you have any pics of relays for switches? All my electrics are missing from cab
Thanks

If you look at the third picture down, you can see that the pipe crosses over the top of the frame rail, under the floor, & goes through a hole in the inner nose panel, then comes up between the inner panel & the outer skin.

You can see some of the wires dangling, mine has been hacked & will need sorting, not a good candidate for determining correct routing on those.
