Front Disc Brake Flex Line

Both of the front disc brake flex lines are leaking and I have decided to replace them. I purchased the left and right replacement flex lines. The line for one side has a brass fitting that connects to one metal brake line. The line for the other side has a brass fitting that looks like it has provision for two metal lines. I haven't looked at the truck to see where the two lines come form. Does anyone know?
On my '85 F150 each flex brake line connected to one metal line each.

Thank You in advance.

Not positive but I think the tee line goes on the drivers side.

Thank You VMAN. I think you are right, however what I was wondering why there are two lines connected to this flex line?

Thanks again.

It's just a screwy setup.One goes to the master cylinder and one goes to the abs valve I think.

i think what your looking at is one end goes to the hard metal line at the frame, and the other is a small rectangle with a hole all the way through that goes to the brake caliper.
