Gergo: I had the same question and I suggest you do a search of Austin Healey
restorations on your browser; You will find some examples. There is also a
site (It may be on the technical archives of the AHUSA site) that has a
diagram that shows the correct alignment from the 4-way or 5-way connector
attached to the right side strut support (depending if you have a servo
unit)and running to the front wheels. One thing I confirmed is that the flex
hose running from the caliper to the brackets attached to the chassis in front
of the shock platform runs from the top down into the bracket with the brake
tubing running across the frame crossection under the front edge of the shock
Up to the bracket to match with the flex line. Now I purchased some fairly
expensive stainless braided flex lines off of E-bay and they were too short to
allow the flex line to be attached correctly and when the car is up on stands,
the flex hoses would have been ruptured. I then purchased the standard rubber
flex hoses and they are sufficiently long.
Hope this helps. bill n
