Wes -
I am running from memory but the three way with brake switch is bolted
onto the inner front right fender well towards the bottom, probably
about 6 to 9 inches up from the chassis rail, I am pretty sure it is
on the wheel well itself, close to the shroud/bonnet brace. There
should be a welded nut on the wheel well where it bolts into. Note
that the master's output does not go to the threeway, it goes to the
booster, then the booster goes to the threeway. If you are not
installing a booster on you BJ8, be sure to get a second clutch master
and use that as your brake master, the original BJ8 brake master is
designed to work with a booster - without it you will have very heavy
brakes.
The four way, I believe, is located on the right inside chassis rail
somewhere in the engine compartment area, but I can't recall exactly
where. Yes, the three way connects to this and you have two lines to
the front and one to the back.
On a LHD car the resevoir mounts to the left hand shroud/bonnet brace
with a little kinked bracket and then a reservoir band/bracket goes
around the reservoir. Note that with the reservoir on the LH side
there is a great deal of piping to run the lines to the clutch and
brake masters. They actually run in very specific locations - I'd
recommend getting Mr. Finespanner's pre-cut / pre-bent pipe kits, it
will make it SUBSTANTIALLY easier to install, especially if you are
dealing with steel lines.
