Default Brake Line Armor

Can someone identify whether the front cross over brake line running from the proportioning valve to the right brake Hose should have the spiral armor. Also the shorter line running from the prop. valve to the left brake hose. I know that the two lines running from the master cylinder to the prop valve should have the spiral armor. I recently purchased a complete set from In-Line Tubing and they say the armor should be present on those two front lines.

Hi G65,
I believe that the 2 lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block, the short line to the driver's side, and the long crossover line to the passenger's side all have armor.
I believe the rear crossover line doesn't have armor and the 2 hard lines on the rear calipers may or may not have armor depending on the year.
Regards,
Alan
