Chris -
Yes, thank you! - this is helpful. Apparently I have been DPO'ed...
Are the brake lines sold in retail stores compatible? Can someone
educate me on the flare type(s) required? I only have a VB Midget
catalog at the moment, I see they sell some lines and an adapter -
What is that for?

No, it doesn't - the floor pan is one large stamping, including the
tunnel. It's part of what gives the tub it's strength.
Now the brake line should be clipped under the seat re-inforcing
channel that's welded to the bottom of the floor pan, and easily
accessible from under the car. I'm not sure which side of the car, but
if you trace the line back you should find it. The fuel line also runs
under one of these channels. Both are clipped in to the side of the
channel.
If for some reason the brake line is INSIDE the tunnel, then a DPO put
it there. It'll work fine, just not where it's supposed to be.

Absolutely agree, thats why I asked how you access the line to replace
it. Does the middle panel that covers the drive shaft and tunnel come
out??
