j&m brake lines (rear)

j&m brake lines (rear)
Hey guys, this weekend i did a brake upgrade. I put slotted\crossdrilled rotors all the way around with ss lines, and a full brake fluid flush. (Just a lesson learned always bleed the master cylinder or it will cause a world of frustration.)
Question i had was this......when i went to replace the rear brake line i noticed on the passanger side there is a Y connection into the rubber hose. it looks to me as it the supply comes in one side and feeds that caliper and then the other line on the Y jumps over to the driver side to feed that caliper. the only problem with this is the stock hose has this Y as part of the brake lines so it can not be removed. the J&M lines did not have that connection on either one of the hoses. i am contacting AM about this issue but i was wondering is anyone on here has run into this problem.
as always thanks guys for the input

ok update.....i contacted j&m and they told me i bought the wrong lines. apparently the only mustangs that have the Y connection like i described are the ones that only have front anti lock brakes and not all 4 wheel anti lock. has anyone heard of this? i have speed sensors in the back wouldnt that indicate i have rear anti lock as well?
Anywhom they said if i shipped the lines to them they would send me the correct set. anyone have any knowledge on this?

Thanks

^ those are originally the ones I had on my car, prior to what I have now. They were just fine, but seems to me we needed to bend the bracket a little so it would fit correctly... no biggie.
