I will be using AP brakes on my GTR so have been supplied with a 0.75" master cylinder and a 0.625".
The build manual does not say which goes where or which brakes they serve.
A search of previous posts indicated that the front cylinder was on the right but did not give the size.
Can anyone help?

Great post. I had no idea that there are two sizes supplied with the kit. Is the size indicated on the side of the part.

I would assume that the larger master cylinder would be included in the front brake system.

I posed the same question to Ted a few months back, and the answer was:

Jack

The 5/8" works the rear brakes and 3/4" the front.

Thanks all and happy new year.

The numbers '75' & '625' are cast on the side of the respective cylinders.
Jack
Thanks for the sizes.

Looking again at the pictures I can see the pipe for the front brakes splits at a 'T' joint to go to each front brake.
In the picture of a right hand drive car the front cylinder is on the right (offside) however it seems to be the other way round on the pictures featuring the left hand drive car. At the end of the day I suppose it does not matter as long as you know how you build your own.
Thanks again
Steve
