Iirc, one of the 3 is the return from the abs block, one outlet is front, one is rear, they can be tee'd as that's what the abs block does.

It was an age ago I did mine so I might be wrong but I'm sure only 2 give fluid, one is just a port straight back to the reservoir for a fluid return
I blocked that one off when I ditched the abs

well tbh you sound right as I don't think you would block off one giving fluid out so I guess I will just have to pipe it up and see what 2 outlets is pushing fluid out , but thanks for your help

All 3 supply fluid. All 3 go to abs block. Then them 3 supply brakes 1o/s front 1 n/s front and 1 rear which is t-pieced on rear of car to do both rears.
