Default Line Lock installation on a 62

I am wanting to install a line lock/ hill holder on my 62, and am having trouble visualizing exactly how to go about it. The main brake line crosses over the front end and has a connection that goes to both back wheels after both fronts have branched off. I can't figure how to isolate the front and not lock the rears. Anybody have any pictures of how they did it with the stock single line master cylinder?

Thanks Dan, but I have already been to that site, and it was of no help when working with a single master cylinder. I think l have it figured out, though. I will have to isolate the rear lines upstream of the solenoid that feeds both fronts. It is going to involve plugging the connection that feeds the rear and running another crossover that is independent of the front, and reconnecting it as I said, upstream so it can bleed back when the pedal is released. Thanks...
