im guessing it has abs, u will have to remove the abs block, and all the pipes goin onto it. then u end up with all the pipe that are on the car not reaching where u want because the abs block is at the opposite side to the m/c, so u need to put a length of pipe comin out of one of the outlets on the m/c over to where the abs block used to be and t-piece it onto the 2 lines goin to ur front callipers. now for the back u will probably have 2 lines goin from the removed abs block to the back callipers so cut the 2 of them as far back as the hanbrake is mounted, t-piece them together and run a pipe off them to the FRONT outlet on the hydro and then run a pipe from the rear outlet on the hydro up to the remaining outlet on the m/c! job done, enjoy bleeding it :)

will be fitting one to my e36 as soon as i buy some pipe. you can go from the rear port(should have a H on it) on the master cylinder to the abs unit and it will work, or splice into the 2 rear pipes under the car and use 2 t pieces to join them into one pipe for the hydro. http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae49/buzz2753/handbrake-1.png
or get a double master cylinder hydro.
youll have to disconnect abs relay or a sensor if youre doin it this way.
