Early CJ brake line routing/setup

[Tater76]

Anyone have any detailed pics of they're brake line setup? I am in the process of building mine from scratch, and have nothing to work from besides grainy schematics for early jeeps. My jeep is a 1960, and I have a new dual master cylinder.
Do I need a proportioning valve? or do I just need a tee in the front, and one in the back? I am kinda lost at this point.

Thanks in advance!

Should give you a bit of a heads up.

Proportioning valve? It would likely work without, but it will be much better with one. Most of the braking is by the front axle and that is also usually the end with the most weight. If both axles see the same hydraulic pressure with identical cylinders/shoes, the rear will be skidding before you lock up the front. It's pretty easy to dial in an adjustable valve to get things near perfect.

I would agree adding a prop valve would be a great improvement Duffer, but which one?
