Re: Front brakes
There’s a T piece under the front , only a single line runs to the rear , I think the T piece is from left around the steering rack area , it’s a bit tucked away

Re: Front brakes
I changed both front hard lines earlier this year.
On nearside (assuming RHD and in UK) chassis, beyond wheel arch, is the tee piece. A short hard pipe goes to wheel arch and connects with flexi hose going to caliper. Easy job.
However, getting the offside hard line in place is a pain in the harris. It runs in front of the fuel tank and behind spare wheel holder. It takes a bit of bending, twisting and shaping to feed it through. Took about an hour of fumbling in the offside wheel arch.
Brickwerks sells preshaped hard lines.
Tape the ends to prevent ingress of wheel arch crap.
