Master cylinder outlets

Post by Paul V8 »

Hello, this may be a silly question but, does it matter which side of a brake master cylinder goes to which end of the car, the master has 2 outlets, was going to put the front to to fronts and rear to to rears. unless anyone knows different. Dont know if there is anything internal i should be aware of. Its on a Triumph TR7.
Thanks.

I would think there may be a possibility of dis similar bore sizes front to back

I believe it's nearest the servo/rod to the front and the forward most to the rear, but please check, as ian said a lot of cars have diffrent size holes, the larger of the 2 being the front brake, also it's not unknown for them to have stepped bores, more fluid at the rear of the cylinder and less at the front, john
So thats where it went !
