DUAL-CIRCUIT BRAKE PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
I'm in the process of a front power-assisted front disk brake/dual circuit conversion of my 1966 serIIa88 regular's brakes. I've got the disks and new master cylinder installed, but now I need to route new brake pipes to the wheels.
The dual circuit master cylinder has two outlets: One to the front brakes and one to the rear. I can afford to buy new fittings, pipes and/or brake switches, but I'm not sure just which ones. Remember, this is an 88, not a 109.
At first glance, I could run one pipe directly from the rear master cylinder outlet to the "T" fitting on the rear axles (if I could find the appropriate brake pipe), and another from the front MC outlet to the existing, single circuit fitting (with one outlet plugged) to the front brakes.
I can afford the appropriate bits & pieces, but I'm not clear just which ones should be used.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

RE: DUAL CIRCUIT BRAKE PIPES
I'm installing a Torrel front disk brake conversion kit from Rocky Mountain in Vancouver, B.C. After inspection, and seeing rust, I think I'll go ahead and replace all of the metal brake pipes between the master cylinder and the wheels.
I just removed the starboard (right) wing (you should know what that is) to gain better access to the vital bits and saw a fair amount of corrosion. The whole point of this exercise is to make this thing safer to drive, so I shouldn't go half-baked.
Thanks for all the advice!
