can someone help me find diagrams , basically im fitting a pedal box with 2 wilwood master cylinders and a hydrolic handbrake to the mk1 golf
this is how far i am at the moment :

rear disc conversion fitted and new lines fitted and come into the car they are joined with a T connector and go into the master cylinder on the hydro handbrake

front brakes are fitted and new copper lines run along the bulkhead (in engine bay) and are connected to a T piece fitting

i have a few bits that i know i need like 2 resevoirs and a few fittings but im in need of diagrams to make sure im doing things correctly

can someone point me in the right direction ?

here is the pedal box , silly question but is one an inlet and one an outlet on each cylinder i know each one wants its own resevoir

Trev,
As you know, I'm not the most technical of blokes!
I've found some .pdfs that might be useful, but I'm not sure mate.....sorry if they're no good.

I'll keep looking mate, but I think each pedal has it's own resevoir.....

cheers for the links rob , i'v already seen the 'making of the pedal box' on a google search , this part has already been made and its the connecting everything up thats proving the head scratching for me. and yes you are correct i do have to use 2 resevoirs ,one for each cylinder
i have 2 new resevoirs that came with the car already so thats handy :)

i thought it would have been easy to find diagrams etc.. for set ups as its a pretty common thing on race cars

cheers for joining forces and searching for me :D

Get a large cup of tea and read this mate, you might get something from it (aside from ABF ideas....)
