Your headed down a bad road here. If they spot it you are doomed to failure. The means you want to use to secure the line is not a secure way of fixing the line, you must use metal clips set at a proper distance to keep the line from moving. Look at what was used on the old line. As for going your own way that again would be modifying the car in a unsafe way. If you would like to impress the inspectors then I would install a dual master cylinder with a proportioning valve with the lines secured properly. It is still a mod but if done right they will most likely let it go. But you'd need to do a lot of homework to get all the right parts.
Sounds like a plan. You can get "Metal" zip ties that are stainless steel. A lot more money, a lot stronger, a lot wider and only a few in a package. They are used to hold up thermo insulation around hot exhaust pipes. Check out Jegs.
though cannot specifically comment on local test laws.
here in UK rerouting is legal as long as not at risk of chaffing . damage. and is securely held in place. plastic ties are not seen as secure fixings.
I need to replace a brake line that has a hole in it and is rusted through all the way down the line. However the brake line starts on the front left, goes to the front right, goes to the back right, then the back left...the longest route possible. Since i am fixing this myself, it would be easier to just go straight back instead of following the original path. I know its not "proper", but i do not care as long as it would be acceptable in an inspection. Basically instead of clipping into the brake clips, i am thinking zip tie it along the shorter route. Would this be looked past in an inspection or would they piss and maon about it?
