I'm about to order my lines and fittings from Speedway for the Lincoln brakes. Got a question though, on the front brakes. Does it matter where you put the Tee to split the front line to both front wheels? Do the lines need to be the same length from the Tee to the wheel cylinders? The original line has the Tee at the left front wheel, with the rubber line directly connected to the Tee, then a solid line from the other port to the right side rubber line.

I'm was wondering on account of the brake timing, looks like the left would engage quicker than the right because of the shorter distance from the Tee, or does it matter, would they both engage at the same time regardless where the Tee is at?
 
It doesn't matter. It's not like water or air flowing through a pipe. Brake fluid is non-compressible and puts the same amount of pressure everywhere all at once.
