300ex brake lines

As some of you guys know I'm doing a frame up 300ex project. I already had 400ex a-arms and spindles on and got my 300ex front brake system in today. I got the calipers on the 400 spindles fine, but can't figure out how to run the brake lines. I was wondering if someone could post some pics of the lines from the calipers all the way to the lever assembly. Since I don't have any guide to go by (since I'm building it frame up) I'm pretty much relying on common sense and pics I see on here. Thanks.

its kinda hard to see..ba run them along the arms as you already know....have the lines from each caliper meet where the stock ones met....then run a line up one of the tube rails next to the steering stem and connect it up on da bars

bolt em on to the caliper and then run em along the a-arm to the thing where they meet.....then theres another cable that goes fom there and goes up to the bars....

BTW you might wanna think about gettin a Clymer manual, they are amazingly helpful they tell you just about everything you need to know and they have clear pictures for just about everything

Yeah I got it figured out. I knew where everything started and ended, but there was a clamp that was throwing me through a loop. I thought it was for a brake line, but it wasn't. It really made the lines awkward. Thanks.

Also what ball joints are you using? You made them replaceable didn't you?
