MG MGA - pics wanted for frame rail

Hi, Just wondering if some of you could post up some close up pics of the wiring / fuel line / brake line as it hugs the frame rail coming from the front to the back of the car. IU'm just working on mine and am trying to sort out how it is mounted.

Cheers, John

No lines in place but should give you an idea where they go Bob

The fuel pipe goes into the outboard bend-up clips. The smaller brake pipe goes into the inboard bend-up clips. The main battery cable and side wiring harness go into the double-wide P-clips with the "P" upright.

Thanks for the pics! I just took a look under the car and realized that none of the tabs are there. Are there any other solutions to mounting the fuel / brake lines and wiring? I've recently powder coated the frame and really do not want to have to start welding tabs onto it.

Cheers, John

Threaded pop rivets.

I just used longer floorboard screws and bent up some support pieces held onto the extended screws with nuts.

Thanks for that John DW, I have the same issue - no tabs and a finished frame.
