ok had this answer back from Warren
front one splits into 2 and goes direct to front brakes, middle one blocked up with a welded up fitting, rear one single line to a t piece at the back for rear brakes.
brake balance is fine.
Thanks
Warren

ok , had a little panic today, a good friend on here advised me about the master cylinder brake pipe setup but seems to have worked out ok, looks like you need this setup if not using abs pump but if you do you need to use all 3 outlets, fingers crossed lol
just need to get some p-clips and maybe 2 chassis mounts for the hoses.

we are all great thanks mate, hope all is well with yours aswell.
Ian was worried about not using the middle pipe, but i looked at cochyn's at ford fair, and warrenpenalver mailed me aswell, so i have followed their setup.

Nah mate, you can't really go wrong with the braided lines. Try to feed them into the arms as close to the original fittings as possible, especially the port in the arms specifically for the brake lines that lead to the calipers. You don't want them rubbing against the discs or the shafts

Aye mate, but I'm sure someone else will be able to do sooner than me because the car is 90 or so miles away from me in Wales. But I've just sorn'd it for about a month or so, so I can do a few more bits to it

SERIOUS question, i have full focus loom, so if i install it all and hook up power to it, i assume it will throw a wobbly and go into limp mode, NOT a bad thing, however, is it possible to run fuel pump electrics and radiator fans from the focus loom ?????? because even in limp mode the car would still drive.
