MG MGA - Pictures of Brake Line Routing

If someone could post a picture or two of the correct brake line routing from the battery box up the side of the right side frame (showing tabs and anything else I should be looking at to do it right), Id really appreciate it. Never done this before, so pictures would help a lot. Thanks so much.

Here's mine at the battery case. Not exactly standard, but close.
If you like I can take a picture of the underside, front to back run.

Tom,

Here is a picture from below. From the clip that is attached to the battery box the line makes an "s" curve into the channel next to the frame.

I found it easiest to install from front to back. Remove the bolt holding the 4-way fitting so it can be moved a bit to help with alignment. Once the front fitting is in place the rest is pretty straight forward.

I'm concerned that both Art and John's pictures show brake pipes appearing to touch other cables.

Where possible, something I would personally avoid.

John, it's perspective - there is a gap.

Thanks all for the fast responses. I should be in good shape now (until I become stuck again). Thanks again!
