Brake lines to pressure regulator???

Hello!
I put the question out here too!.. :)
It is so that I have some questions about how to draw the brake lines from my 4 outlet m/c to my brake pressure regulator?
The brake lines were removed when I got my -79 1,6 gti so I dont have anything to compared whit how its was fitted before.

And i also have a mastercylinder and 9" servo from a 16v mk2.

I had thought some thing like this from the cylinder:
1: Left front.
2: Right front.
Then I get a bit confused .. should No. 3 from the mastercylinder go to No. 2 on the brakeregulator? and No. 4 from the mastercylinder to No. 4 on the brakeregulator??


(borrowed picture, let me know if I should remove it)


If i should go after this picture, it`s the right way to go that I just described…

But many seems to have made it in other ways, such as my borrowed picture above?
And heres one more way which is not consistent with the way above?

So how do i do it? :)

Thanks in advance!

the 2 outlets closested to the servo go to the compensater at the rear and the other 2 outlets go to the front brakes iirc

Thanks for the answer mate! But what i needed to know was wish outlet from the compensator that goes to the m/c.. Thera are 4 outlets on the compensator and i wonder wish of those 4 whos running to the m/c outlets.

the compensater has arrows cast into it 2 arrows pointing in 2 arrows pointing out
the 2 pointing in are inlets from the MC the 2 pointing out go to the back brakes

Just to revive an old thread, ive been looking through the forum trying to work out what i need to get my Corrado G60 front and rear calipers to fit onto my mk1.  Going by what foxy is saying above wouldnt routing the outlets closest to the servo to the rear mean the rear brakes were on one circuit and the front were on another?
  Also does anyone know which outlet on the rear compensator corresponds with which inlet as you would need to know this to ensure you plumbed it to keep the diagonal circuits correct.

yes you are correct, you need to plumb opposite corners into 1, 3 and 2, 4.

as for plumbing im pretty sure the in and out ports are next to each other but its been years since i binned mine. could always blow thru it :lol:

Did you ever identify which inlet goes to which outlet on the compensator?
