I am starting the dual piston brake upgrade on my '94 Splash, 2wd, non ABS.
I sourced most of the parts from a '97 2wd Ranger.
Rotors, calipers and pads will be bought new.
My question is with the front left brake line.
The write up states to use the brake line from a '97 non ABS Ranger for the front left because of the t-block end.
When I compared the original brake line to the '97 non-ABS, the block is there, but it is not a T-Block.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what did you do?

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Is that a brand new brake line out of the box? Might have been wrong part in right box.

Yes. It was the only one they had one in stock. The picture on their website didn't show the full end the line bolts into. It just showed a good view of the end where the BANJO fitting went to.
