Default Brake line set up?

Hey guys,

Recently put frs brembos on front of s2 aswell as removing all the abs pumps etc, and
going to be putting discs on the rear aswell,

done away with the standard bias valves, and will use a willwood brake bias adjuster to prevent locking the rear up so easily,

What im asking is how do i run lines for this set up utilising the brake bias valve for the rear etc?

Any help greatly appreciated!!

I used to run a willwood bias on my old XR2turbo, with your master cylinder there are only 2 outlet which I believe feed opposite diagonal corners of the car.

The way I had my XR2 set up was by having the both rears running off 1 outlet so only using 3 of the 4 outlet then blocked the spare off with a bolt (flywheel bolt if I remember rightly), the XR2 has 4 not 2 like the ABS Excort master cylinder. then had the bias fitted just before a T that feed each rear corner.

You'd probably have to change yours to a non-ABS master cylinder.
