've made a complete set of new copper brake pipes for my 89 RR. Also new steel flexibile hoses. But there is no example how everything should be connected Which output of the main cilinder goes to which piston in which claw? Is there a drawing about this or doesn't it really matter?

Have you looked in the workshop manual? Should have something in there.
The manuals are hosted on the Spanishtrailrovers site but I can't seem to get there at the moment? Perhaps the site is gone now :(
PM me if you want a copy of the brakes section sent through.

Summarised from Haynes manual:
There are 2 brake circuits - primary and secondary.
Primary circuit is connected to the rear port of the master cylinder, secondary to the front port.
Each front caliper has 2 pairs of pistons and 2 brake lines.
The upper pair of pistons of both front calipers are connected to the primary circuit.
The lower pair of both front calipers are connected to the secondary circuit.
Both rear calipers are connected to the primary circuit.
Having a quick look at my 84 model in the dark, it appears to be a little different to this.
The master cylinder on your 89 model is different to mine (changed in 87).

Worked it out today and connected and bleeded everything. Will see how it drives in a few weeks. Thanx for the input!
