Default What line lock to use for Miata?

I have been checking into installing a line lock on my 2000 Miata and am wondering if anybody knows of a 2 in and 2 out line lock that will work properly with the Miata brake setup?
I checked on Jegs and Summit Racing and all I found is 1 in and 3 out.
Searching the internet I found a written article on installing a line lock by using a tee to connect the two front brake lines together and then using the multiple outlets to split them apart again. This method seems to me like it would mess up the porportionimg between the two front brakes.
Any ideas or ways to get it done properly?

Cool

Not sure if there is any L+R proportioning but possibly antilock you would keep the lines separate. In that case just run parallel line-loc's, 1 for left and 1 for right activated with 1 button. I am sure you could just plug one of the outlets on the master and run 1 line to the line-loc and then use the two outlets to split L+R.

However I am no expert, others may have a better idea!!

There are no 2x2 line lock solenoids on the market that I'v ever seen. You'll need to install one solenoid in each line, and then wire them in to the same switch. Standard procedure for a lot of cars.
