Hidden front brake hydraulic hose.

Anyone have any info on hiding the front brake hydraulic hose via the normal drum brake cable route? I know you have to turn down the throttle rod in a lathe.Am I right in thinking the hose has to be slimmer than normal? If so, will this still be suitable for a double disc set up?
Thanks.

I didnt have to on mine, as the Jason frost method. but i didnt need to turn the rod down. I used the plain s/steel braided hose 6mm OD.

Thanks for the help. Just a couple more questions, what diameter does the rod need to be turned down to and do I need a particular master cylinder? ( Haven't bought one yet).
Thanks again.
