Defender brake pipe layout

Hi guys

Ive been rebuilding my 200tdi defender and stripped it about 6months ago. I have come to the point of running in the new brake lines from master to brake bias valve and then to the hubs BUT in the 6 months I have forgotten how it's plumbed up!

Does anyone have any diagrams or pictures of which port is connected to which?

It's the valve that's mounted on the bulkhead footwell from 93 LA chassis number on not the one mounted on inner wing bracket on the older models (like my other defender so I can't check off it!

The brake pipe layout is in the workshop manual & in the parts book

Ralph - looking at that there is a difference between the set up for a drum brake rear axle and a disc brake rear axle? Do you happen to know what the difference is and why?
As in when I put this disc rear axle on my drum braked 90...........what needs to cahnge? I was hoping it was a straight swap!

shouldn't be any need to change the pipe layout for a rear disc nbraked axle, it still needs one pipe to right rear & one from right rear to left rear or from front to a T junction then pipe to each rear caliper.

LR did away with the PDWA unit & went to a low fluid level float switch in the master cylinder reservior, for ease of production.

Cheers ralph I have eventually worked out what the diagrams mean! Now for the great job of making up brake lines Mad
