if you have asphalt sound deadening on the floor, or even if you just have bare steel under the carpet, run a line of duct tape where the lines will run, it will keep them from embedding to the sound deadening material and if you have bare floors it will keep them from chafing on the floor.

run the lines in through a big rubber grommet, not plastic, try and get it as close to the floor as you can to keep it from kinking. once you have the lines run, pull them apart and squirt silicone around each line, so you end up with a nice soft plug.

run lines away from stepping zones. down the middle is nice if you dont have a middle seat. almost no one steps right next to the sill plates either. if you run them down the side or if you plan to have middle seat passengers, its best to put the lines in a wire run enclosure, dont buy a fancy one, just go to a salvage yard and pull the carpet back, you can get nice ones from just about any car and the guys wont charge a lot if anything.

remember that gauges carry the full pressure of the bags and tank, and a leak there is a leak in the bags or tank.
