brake master cylinder - numpty question

I have xr4x4 front and rear discs and calipers on escort mk2 front uprights and an english axle on my Anglia plus a Sierra inertia valve in the rear circuit, real mongrel when it comes to running gear.

I am planning on using an mx6 tandem brake master cylinder(15/16", no servo) which has two outlets. The question is - does it matter which outlet I connect the front/rear circuits to? I am planning on running fully braided hoses (reduces it to seven hose) and routing would be neater with front circuit on the front outlet, any issues?

Thanks.

It depends upon the design of your master cylinder.

Some master cylinders have different strokes on each chamber.

Did the MX6 have drumbrakes or discs on the rear axle?

If it had discs then it won't matter - if it had drumbrakes then the chamber for the rear axle, on the master cylinder, may have shorter stroke than the other chamber.

Thanks, mx6 had discs so it looks like I can use either way round then.

Just a thought - how are the brakes connected on the MX6? Check this out, and connect yours in similar fashion.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Thanks, tried to work that out but it feeds into a rats nest of pipes in a manifold for the abs systen.
