If you look at the illustrations in the various manuals and parts list you'll see the routes that the pipes follow, and also see that they are of different lengths. You don't need to know the exact lengths, just relatively that the longest goes in position A and the shorted in position B. As a starter, the two very short ones go between the cylinders on each front wheel. Now try the rear axle right hand pipe - easy to lay out and check without bending. The next shortest is propably from the front union (3-way plus brake light switch) to the front right hand wheel, or the left hand rear axle. Another easy one to check is from the back of the master cylinder to the rear axle. As you get a few done, the remainder become obvious. Good luck.

Note that the rear axle pipes have different threads on the ends!!!
