Default Running brakelines for a dual master cylinder and pedal box

I want to fit a dual master cylinders and/or pedal box to my track car. I want to be able to adjust the front/rear bias and run the lines inside the car.
I understand that rather having a X split, in these setups you have one master cylinder drive the front and the other drive the rear. I therefore of course will need to replumb the brake lines.

I have seen some applications whereby people have run braided flexible lines throughout the car rather than hard lines. I have seen some applications with JIC fittings and others with banjo M10.

What setup do people recommend?

Do people have any pictures of similar setups?

Not all cars are X split, some are just front rear. I use Euroquip stuff but there are a few other makes similar. I have two cars fully plumbed with euroquip front to back no problems and a firm responsive pedal. But some say that full braided lines give a soft pedal, i've not found that. The other car has hard line to each corner with equip lines from the shell to the calipers. Just keep the lines to as minimum as posible a run
The fittings used depends on the application and your pocket. I used swivel joints where i could as the fixed ones can cause you a problem if you need to undo one section of line.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any pictures of your setup of any of your cars?
