layout help. please!

I would like to use steel lines from the pump up to the rear ports(would like to use a hard t type figuration for rear ports. with them run through sheet metal support for protection and ease of use) from the ports continue up to loader valve mount area then from that point run steel line up to the lines on the fel. pictures may not be very helpful at this stage. the backhoe is complete how ever the fel is not bolted together or on the tractor as it is in the process of being stripped and reconditioned. new paint lines and bottom of loader is getting new steel sheet. the choice of line materiel is mostly based on keeping it safely out of the way and where needed. soft line will be used on flexible areas like normal. the steel line will also cut back on cost do to the massive amount of line needed to reach fel cylinders.

In the Hydraulic Store link in posted above there is steel tubing, as well as the proper fittings for it.
