Triumph TR6 - Vacuum lines

Were the vacuum advance/retard lines on a '70 TR6 (carb car) originally rubber hoses or metal pipes? Also, can someone provide a picture of the correct routing? I know where they connect at both ends, but the PO suffed all of the vacuum lines--rubber--(including the servo line) at the rear of the engine.

It should be a combination of semi-rigid plastic tubing and rubber elbows on that car. The vacuum port on the front carb should have rubber elbows at both ends and run to the advance unit. It runs up around the front of the valve cover and roughly follows the metal fuel line eventually ending at the distributor.

The rear vacuum port is on the underside, again two rubber elbows and the semi-rigid plastic tube. It should be routed up and around the linkage between the cars and the manifold then along the servo line across the valve cover, dropping down to attach to the retard unit on the distributor.
