I have just been looking at an x244 diagram which showed the ABS in that location.
For a complete part Coastal Motorhomes supply parts for older vehicles. Alternatives are getting one made to pattern, or DIY, which if you buy a flaring tool, requires minimal workshop facilities.

Try not to get air into the ABS pump, or you may need extra equipment to bleed it.

The diagram that I was looking at was a location diagram for electrical components, so I doubt that it would help with brake pipe replacement.

For DIY you will need as stated a brake pipe flaring tool. A brake pipe bender will help make a neater job. I suggest cupro nickel tubing. You will also need the correct fittings unless re-using the old ones which may be possible. A good car accessory shop should be able to supply these items.

Measure existing pipe with s piece of string. Make replacement slightly longer, as you cannot stretch a pipe that is too short, while you can loose slight excess length.

Another tip when working on hydraulic systems, is to fill the reservoir to the brim, and then secure a piece of thin plastic over the top. This helps to reduce fluid loss. when pipes are disconnected.
