The PO has installed the front flexible hosed in an “S” shape which I would have thought is incorrect (standard MGB calipers) although in the build manual it says this is correct. What have others done?

Re: Brake pipe orientation (front)
I guess it depends on the length of the line and orientation of the S.
Mine does run in an S configuration specifically allowing the line to accommodate full deflection of the suspension.
As long as the line doesn’t have any torsional tension in it you should be fine.

As long as the flexis don’t rub anywhere or there’s no stretch on them lock to lock, they’ll be fine.

Re: Brake pipe orientation (front)
Thanks gents, they seem to be fine under full lock both ways so I guess I’ll leave them alone.
