no just t into the brake pipe going to the rear callaipers.

we say under ur standard hand brake find the pipe going to rear brakes cut the pipe and put ur hydro pipes then in their, b beter to get braided lines to bend them u can only do so much bending with the coper pipes

If u wanna do a proper job on it id get rid of all your break piping and run all new braided lines straight from your master cylinder...! Murry motorsport do them and there not crazy money...!

The easiest way I find is... Disconnect the brake pipe going to the rear off the car,take this and use it ad your feed into your hydro,then flare the ends off a copper pipe and tread this into your feed out on your hydro and back into wear you took off the original pipe from the back,job done..ive always used this way and has worked perfect...you could buy braided lines but if you wanna do it cheap I fins this the easiest way and works perfect!

Agree with above. Remove the rear brake pipe from the tee between the rear wheels and that'll be the feed(which goes into the back of the wand) and a new piece of copper from the wand to the tee. Simples

Prepare for a good bit of bleeding to get all the air out of the lines though
