Master Cylinder pipe connections

[finishing touch]

Hi All

I have bought a duel circuit master cylinder intended to fit a Series 3 88 but wish to use it on a different car.


It has a 3/8 connection and a 7/16. I'm assuming it's done this way so that the pipes can't be fitted the wrong way round.


My question is; which is front and which goes to the rear brakes ?



Many thanks in anticipation

If I caused offence then I apologise.

But non-ABS cars require the front wheels to lock before the rears.

If rears lock first then the car spins.





Please, please, no guesses. I need to get this right for my IVA re-test.

I need answers like; "mines piped like this. (see photo)" please

Cheers,
Paul G

7/16 to front brakes.3/8 to rear. front brakes are applied first followed by the rear.

I have changed the pipes to the configuration suggested and this afternoon trailered the car to the local MOT garage to use their brake rollers. 100% success.

I now feel confident about passing the IVA test.



Thanks for the help,
Paul G


Edit to add: IVA passed 28th April
