Hello Shane,
Teds internet page is very informative indeed !
in my T2 there was a diameter difference somewhere in the high pressure connections. don't remember where, but that was an easy fix in my hydraulically experienced garage, so that shouldn't be a problem for you.
the suction line going to the master cylinder comes from a T-connection, which is just interconnected on large LHM return line.
in my Prestige there is a factory return line installed with a T connector. works like a charm! like a hot knife through butter ;-)
in my T2 perhaps the return line that was cut to add the T is slightly smaller in diameter, so not a lot of return flow of LHM. when I press the clutch a few times, it is probably low on LHM, and then pressing the clutch requires more force.... I know this happens, so I am not in a hurry to change this (but may do so). so do use a large return line though ! then it shouldn't be a problem !
I just have this one close by on my T2:

Thanks,
he must have thought the safety valve was required. I'll probably just stick a 3way junction into the feed line to the front height corrector. If shouldn't matter where it's powered from, so I'll pick a 3.5mm line somewhere nearby. I'll need to find a bleeder for it too (possibly the front brakes on a DS will have an external bleeder I can use, I'll need to check).
Teds pages have a good writeup on it. There is no information in the shop manuals I have here, so I'm surprised the haynes manual covers it!

You just need the diagram to work out the connections:
1: pressure line from the master cylinder
5: High pressure line from hydraulic system
"Vis de perge" : is the 3.5mm lines that goes to a bleeder nipple i'll need to source
8: Low pressure return.
The master cylinder just has standard connections. suction and discharge. I'll have to figure out how to attach the suction side to the LHM reseviour so that it's always immersed in LHM (the return line connections could possibly be into air inside the reseviour ). Where does the suction line from the master cylinder attach on your CX's ?
seeya,
