    Default Brake pipes

    Does anyone have any detailed pics of how to run the brakes lines? I removed them from the car over three years ago and I could do with some references, also what pipes go onto the master cylinder, don't want the rears attached to the fronts,
    Cheers. Nick

    I'll have a look, I did try and look through some but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack

    Can anyone explain why my master cylinder has to holes that are M10 and two that are M12, one front and one back is M10 and the same for the other side except M12, makes no sense at all to me.

    That's how mine looks, the adaptors are for the rear brakes AFAIK on mine one is an M12 and one is an M10.
    And the holes for the fronts are the same. Unless I have it wrong.

    So don't you screw in the adaptors so all the unions are the same size? Mine were.
