follow the lines back to the master cylinder and just make sure that each rear caliper is on the same circuit as the front caliper on the oposite sides.  The master cylinder has 2 cylinders in the front & rear half, so set it up so the front 2 holes work diagonally oposite calipers, and the rear 2 work the other 2 calipers.
