The lower rear one is front nearside/passenger side front.
The lower front is offside/drivers side front.
The rear side one is offside rear.
The front side one is nearside rear.

Ive got one single line to the back that splits to each rear brake. Im presuming the one that isnt used should be blanked?

When I was running a Nova master cylinder I blanked off one of the side ones (rear ones) and ran the other line to the rear where it went to a T-piece to feed both the back brakes.

It's a very common mod. There is no point in doing this for the front, so just run the front lines as normal. This is unless you are running a bias pedal box. With a bias pedal box you only get one outlet and therfore have to T it off.

You can see how I have mine done in these piccys. The other outlet was blanked off.

Maybe you had another different issue with the fronts.

maybe. i would prefer 1 line with a t piece to the rear as i feel it would stop the rear locking up

I run my race car with one of them blanked off too. Never had any problems with it.
