I think I'm missing some braking bits so it's hard to determine if I've plumbed the brake system properly. I've searched the forum and referenced the Haynes but tough to find exact routing schemes. I have pics but I'm new to this forum and I may need to wait for forum moderator approval. Does anyone happen to have detailed photos of their 89 brake routing, particularly in the front compartment? Thanks. Thankful for this great forum.

Your 89 should be master cylinder

All directions are as you stand looking from the front of the car.

Front circuit pipe goes to the left hand top union on the FAMwtf valve

Front pipe goes left bottom down then

Rear is the right top
Front to rear pipe fits in right bottom

I think I’ve got it. I’ll post some pics for future reference when I figure out how.

Still having issues with picture orientation, but hopefully these may prove useful to someone down the line. For placement only I positioned the old frozen lines to get a feel for how the new lines need to be plumbed.

Thanks! Very fun to work on, although a bit vexing at times with mix of SAE and Metric fasteners!

The front link pipe looks awful,  that should be running with the frame, not looped like that wrapping by the engine.

 

Looks inches short

Please explain further if you can. I don’t know what you mean by from link pipe. Thanks!
