Default Routing braided lines (pic request)

I'll be fitting my braided fuel lines next week . I have some -6 separators which i'll be drilling out to M6 and fitting longer stainless bolts through into rivnuts in the original mounting brackets . I think this should hold it tightly and also look quite pleasing to the eye . However i'm a little concerned about the route they have to take and how close they are to freshly painted items . Theres some very tight bends and odd angles which i don't like .So how has everyone else done it , Anyone have pics the pipes over the beam and onto the floor area ? .Also how you've routed for the return .I'm looking at going thought the cradle for a direct line of sight to the return . Then engine bay wise how do you get on with securing them or not as the case may be . I was just going to use the separators to keep them from flapping in the wind . any pics would be a great help . Ta muchley
