A "Y" fitting and a "T" fitting are essentially the same.

It was super easy. There are 2 lines on top of the block and 2 on bottom.

Put the 2 top lines into a T and send them to the handbrake

Put the bottom 2 lines into a T and send your line from your handbrake to them.


Once you get the liner off you will see that the bottom 2 lines go to the passenger side skirt area and disappear under the car. Those are the ones going to the rear brakes.


Though I did just think of something. I'm not sure if there is room but you might consider leaving the block alone and maybe cutting and splicing somewhere under the car if you have room to bend the lines to your T fitting and keep them tucked away still.

Basically, like the pictures i attached is what i have to do, right?

Unless i see pictures of what i have to do, i'm afraid of going a new route

nackers, do you recommend to make couple of "small" loops after the line goes off from the master cylinder? The guy at the place where i picked up the lines, was talking about the loops too.

i wanted to use the y-fitting so that it has better flow.

This was what i meant by where the fluid flows from on the first pic i attached

I don't think you need any loops. From what little I know about fluid lines the only 2 reasons to do that would be for:

Cooling fluid that is pumped through a system

Equalizing lengths of pipe so fluid pressure is the same on a multi line system


Since your running a single line to the handbrake and a single line back to the factory system, there should be no reason to put loops in.

And I see what your saying about the Y fittings flowing better, but it really shouldn't matter since after the system is bled, there really should be no flow, just pressure.
