Basically yeah, i'd get yourself a haynes manual, then you can see how the pipes run, it will make a lot more sense then.
Go to any good motor factors and they will make you copper brake pipes with whatever ends on them you require, easily bent to shape, and will just screw up to your existing pipes.
Or, you could go to your local scrappy and remove some pipes off a non ABS car, (me personally i don't like the look of home made pipes, but im just fussy)
