Default hydraulic handbrake installation

Anyone done a hydraulic handbrake conversion to GC8? I have bought K-Sport Hydraulic Handbrake master cylinder but have some questions on my mind. There are two lines that goes to right/left rear calipers. If I use "T" on these lines wouldn't it make problem? If you press foot brake pedal it will also pump it to ksport handbrake master cylinder? Also opposite to this, when you engage the handbrake it will pump to front brake master cylinder. Can someone explain what I need to do to properly install hydraulic handbrake?

cheers

Little need for it on a road car, and not homologated on the GC8 in Group N so probably not much experience there either - although fitting one to a newage would be similar. Why do you need one?
