Anyone have pics showing rear brake lines?

Does anyone have any pics showing the rear brake line setup?
I know the rear brakes are connected in series and despite keeping the original lines for comparison/reassembly purposes something isn't making sense reassembling it all. I'm wondering if the line that goes from right caliper to left is in two pieces? I've only got one piece and it's male and female, so perhaps I need a male/male to connect the calipers? I wonder if the shop I sent my old lines off to, to make the new ones lost a piece?

It's 2 pieces. You have line going into the L/Hand caliper which is then connected to the R/Hand caliper with a bridge pipe which is a Jaguar part.

Does this help?
The braided hose is the feed in to the offside, copper one is the bridge to the second caliper on nearside.

and this one!

Thanks. It looks like the bridge pipe is missing then, or half of it anyhow. Hardly insurmountable. Maybe with a little luck it'll still turn up in this messy garage.

So you're saying the passenger side caliper is first in the series?

It should be flexi hose into drivers side caliper first (mine differs from the photo above where the flexi hose mounts onto the diff carrier and then converts into copper pipe), and then the bridge pipe to the other side.

I ordered a make-your-own brake pipe kit from frost auto restoration, and it was a doddle to make up new lines. Except for the flexi hose as I was in a bit of a rush so I made do with a new fiesta pipe which was just about the correct length.

Sorry - I should have said driver's side or L/H if looking towards the rear of the car from the front...

So what you should have is the main line in to the offside of the offside caliper via a flexy hose of some kind,then a short copper bridging pipe linking from a second connection next to the flexy conn to the other side of the same caliper,then from that other side there is a longer bridging pipe stretching across the diff to the nearside caliper which also has a short bridge pipe linking its two halfs,i also bought from Steve Heath an easy bleed pipe which connects onto the nearside caliper which was about £25 to £30 quid i think,
