Hi Dave,

They both run under the car on a Bugeye. If you get under the car, you will
see a reinforcing rail on either side of the tunnel extending all the way
back to the rear bulkhead. On the inboard and outboard sides, adjacent to
the floor pan, you will see some holes spaced along the rail. These are for
clips that hold the brake and fuel line. The fuel line crosses over to the
right side where the crossmember under the tranny and is clipped the the
frame rail edge here and as it follows the frame rail toward the front of
the car. It will come up into the engine bay where you encounter the front
crossmember and is clipped with a strap to one of the motor mount bolts.
The clips that go into the holes under the car look a bit like hairpins,
and the clips along the frames rails clip on the seam edge and have a
raised contour to hold the line. The brake line comes along the same rail
(right side) and up to a 4 way union on the right inner fender.
