Need help routing hard lines on 10 bolt disc conversion

I'm hopefully going to pretty much get my drum to disc conversion done on a second axle I bought but was trying to figure out how the hard lines go and I can't work it out. One is longer than the other, but just can't see how the things sit. Does anyone have a picture?

Cheers.

Pretty much the same way as it is on a drum rear.

longer one goes to pass side, shorter one to driver side. there's a rubber hose from body to axle, runs to a T fitting, then the hard lines split off the T, to driver side and pass side

what kind of disk breaks? I just did a rear LS brake swap (very little clearance with my 15"s lol).

Yikes! My 15's wouldn't fit at all on my LS1 brakes - are you sure you have LS1 brakes and not LT1?

Positive. There under after market rims. There like an aluminum drag style rim. I don't think LS brakes would fit under stock 15"s. And the clearance is very close like I said. I might take a pic later and put it up.

Thanks, think I've figured it out now I know which length goes to which side.

Got other issues though that I'll post in a new thread.
