[TR] How does the L front brake line "S" point?

[wbeech]

Paul,

I just put my lines on a couple of weeks ago, and no engine yet but that's
another story, I'll snap a picture or two for you this morning and send an
attachment off-line.

Hi,
As many of you know, I am installing a SS brake line on my 60 LHD TR3.  I am
unsure how to install my last piece which is the Front Left Brake line.
More specifically, how it joins the 5-way.  As the workshop manual does not
show this, although the manual does show the correct routeing for the 5-way.
    The SS tubing, of course, has 4 lines entering the 5-way.  The Left
Front brake line goes to the 'forward-most' port of the 5-way.  My Classic
Tube Pre-Bent Brake Lines have a five-inch "S" curve (where it runs close to
the exhaust pipe) which is for this particular brake line only.  My question
is:
DOES THIS "S" STANDUP? LAY FLAT? POINT DOWNWARD? POINT BACKWARD?

It maybe that someone has a picture of the "S" curve, which might suffice
enough to answer my question. APWKW? (A picture is worth...)

Thanks a million,
Paul Dorsey
