Two pipes coming around reservoir to a tee piece on a bracket and three pipes off it two slightly smaller than the other one is this not needed then, do you fit a bias part somewhere else or is one not needed? There's labels on mine saying front rear etc.

Yeah, that sounds like the brake bias valve.
It looked like it was going to be a pain to fit, so I got rid of it and stuck a mondeo valve in the rear line instead.
As it happens I failed IVA because my rear brakes were far too weak
I took the Mondeo valve out and replaced it with a bit of brake line and passed.
The rear brakes on the MX5 are a bit pants at the best of times, which is why I guess a bias valve isn't needed.

Cheers skov I will have to think about it a bit more because I'm using the MX5 pedals and maybe the servo.
Regards Mick.
