Will I get away with re-routing a brake pipe on the NCT?

    My 2000 Toyota Yaris frustratingly has a brake pipe running over the fuel tank, and it was an unbridled pain in the arse trying to pull it over when I was taking it off. Will it still pass the NCT with the brake pipe run under the tank on new clips?

    Possibly, depends on the tester.
    If the job looks professional and brakes work to spec then I don't see an issue.

    Do it right. Do it once. Short cuts don't make any long term sense. More so when it's your stopping system...

    Why pull it over just take out the tank , replace the brake line correctly and refit the tank. Modifying and fannying around with brake lines and routing of brake lines is not cool or allowed.

    Due to some irritating circumstances, I'm having to do this in a housing estate car park, and the tank is nearly full. I'll probably play it safe and route the pipe over the tank but I'm a bit wary of trying to drop it given the circumstances.
