I'm looking for the factory routing of the brake lines from the master cyl to the three way. A few pictures would be great

This is from the parts manual. It isn't exactly what you want but I think you can extrapolate the route pretty well from it.The pipes shown in the UL corner come from the master cylinder and go into the shuttle valve pictured right center. Front pipe goes to three-way T, and then to each side. Rear pipe goes to flexible hose that mounts on frame. The flexible hose goes to axle-mounted T fitting and then to each side.
If you are running a new system, you can probably safely delete the shuttle valve. I put in a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve instead. I ran the front pipe directly to the T fitting.

what I'm looking for is a picure of the routing of the pipes along the bulkhead from the dual master to the three way for the front and coupling for the back. my brake switch is on the top of the brake tower.THING 1 - 1973 88 SIII - SOLD

I will try to take a picture, but basically it goes from the MC back to the bulkhead, across, and down to the distribution block. The one for the rear then runs along the frame rail to the back. Pretty generic, I know, but if you have the old pipes in place or if they are missing, they just snap back into the plastic holders.© 1974 Apis Mellifera. Few rights preserved.Comment

Brake Line Photos, Dual MC, 88
Here's a few pics of the brake line route on my '71.
Pay no attention to the unplugged wire above my oil pressure sending unit. My sending unit developed a short - causing the guage to read "full on". I'm switching to a mechanical system soon. The sending unit wire was renewed, but I do believe the short is in the actual sending unit.

Oh...I just noticed that there is a third factory "loop-style" clamp just above the 3-way connector, holding the two brake lines. The other two clamps (on the bulkhead) are holding the clutch along with the brake lines. Details, details...Daily Driver:

Child david, great pics thanks. I have a hand throttle cross shaft on mine which will require a little mod to the routing. I went and installed the break lines before the shaft and they are trying to occupy the same space.
Look at the picture I attached, what is the bracket on the bulkhead for, one about 1/2 way accross. thought it was for brake lines?

Are you referring to the "chair-shaped" or "L-shaped" bracket (in your photo) in the almost-center of your bulkhead? Located near that kind of recessed panel-area-thingy? That might be just one of the variations between a Series 3 and my Series 2a bulkhead? In other words, I have no idea what I'm looking at! Or what I'm talking about!
Hopefully a Series 3 person will reply! (I'm still at the bottom of the learning curve.)
Calling all Series 3 owners...A little help?Daily Driver:
