Default Next step - brake lines...30 Tudor - Guidance?

I have the front suspension assembled and brakes installed/adjusted on the estate Model A I've been working on (yay!)

Next step is plumbing the front brakes - they're 46-48 brakes and a Speedway under-floor master cylinder/clutch kit came mounted. I have the hoses for the front brakes, but need to run them back to the master cylinder.

Any recommendations on line size and routing? Do i go through the frame for the lines to the hoses or under it? Between the fenders and hood panels, I don't think over the frame will work. I plan on running the line inside the curve of the frame back to the master cylinder. Also think I'll T the lines either at the front end of that run or in the valley of the front crossmember.

I suspect I'll need check valves as well, since the wheel cylinders are above the master cylinder.

I've custom plumbed the brakes on my 40 Chevy before and those are still working fine. So i have some experience with it, and hopefully still have the flaring tool and bender as well.

Any feedback is appreciated. And if someone has a pre-bent kit...

Thanks
Paul
