I just bought a 2020 B26 TLB and want to add top&tilt and an hydraulic thumb. I want to do this the most practical way.
I know I'll need the (BT1975 H.THUMB KIT) and (BTB405 REMOTE VALVE FOR BT820)

Question 1: If I get rear remotes for T&T (when BH is off) could I use them in place of the BTB405 (when BH is on)?
Question 2: If did get the BTB405, would I be able to use the hydraulic line the BT820 uses to run a T&T (when BH is off)?

#1: You wouldn't want to, it would just work awkward to run!
#2: You're better off piping it before the BH loop and not using that for the TNT valves.
