Stainless Steel Brake Lines on Volare IFS

The issue has come up a few times about running braided stainless steel brake lines with the Volare IFS. Here are the components that I used to route the brake line through the frame and out to the caliper. I bought the materials from Inline Tube but many vendors carry the pieces/parts. The parts needed are:
1. the banjo bolt and AN fitting to connect to the caliper
2. the frame feedthrough; standard flare on one side, AN on the other
3. braided steel line with AN fittings (length is dependent on where you mount it)
In the pics I show a "T" fitting as well that allows me to run another hard line to the other side of the front brake system, this could just *** easily be an elbow or is not even necessary if you have the clearance to bring the hard line directly into the frame feedthrough fitting.
I have been doing some bodywork on my cab and didn't realize that my hands were still dusty that's whats on the parts in pics.

I appreciate that Chuck. I did manage to use the new OEM flex hose after all. I cut off the steel line holder that bolts to the frame and ran it thru one of those black insulated cable holders.(i don't know what it's actually called) Relocating the caliper from rear to front side of rotor presents some issues... Drivers side is done tho, and pass side is dissasembled waiting for sand blasting, thorough cleaning and paint, and the new suspension parts. I have been taking fotos and will add them to my gallery. I enjoyed speaking with you, and thanx for the help. BTW, lotta nice Effies on the Pickups Limited site. Especially Wayne's. That thing is awesome. If it was only BBW....LOL
