Default Brake Bias valve question

Can anyone tell me how they have plumbed in their bias valves?
As the RS has a diagonally split brake system is it a case or completely new lines allowing a front/rear split ?

And are all makes of valves much the same? Or is there a preference for a certain brand/model ??

Any help appreciated

LOL know you still need pipes mate, but wondered whether it's easier to make up/or have made, completely new lines. Or adapting existing lines was viable/cheaper etc.

Cheers

Prob easier to buy some copper pipe, a box of fittings, and a flair tool. I'm going to do the same so i can bin off the wanky load valves.
