Default Hydraulic Brake Conversion

So after diligently following Model A Ford Mechanics Handbook Volume 2 authored by Les Andrews directive on installing hydraulic brakes on the model A, I wonder how are the brake lines to be plumbed?

The backing plates are rotated 16 degrees to clear the spring shackles, but how are the lines to be routed? Has anyone followed this procedure? When I bought this car the wheel cylinders were on the bottom to solve the spring clearance problem. But in that position the bleeder screws were on the bottom so getting the brakes properly bled was next to impossible......

Looking for someone who has followed the procedure described in this manual, and what was done to plumb the wheel cylinders....
