ok, sorry, didn't check your gallery first..

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for at the moment..

you have a master cyl for disc/drum and booster.

so, If the master is disc/drum, you should have the residual valve built in..

but if not, then

the single line to the back, prop valve, then residual valve, to rear brakes

on the front, one line to each wheel. some masters have dual fittings for the lines, some don't.

As long as you are keeping the m\c and booster on the firewall, you don't need the 2lb residual valve for the front disc brakes. The 2lb residual valve is only required to prevent the brake fluid from draining back to the m\c when it is located in the stock location (under the floor boards) where it is at the same level and sometimes even lower than the calipers.
