Brake reservoir port
« on: June 15, 2025, 22:40:39 »
Which reservoir port goes to the front, and which goes to the rear brakes?

You can probably determine that by following the lines coming out of the ports?

Hi,
If the orientation of the brake lines was meant, it is not really possible to mix them up, as two lines are connected at the end (from the point of view of the brake booster) of the brake master cylinder for the front brakes and only one at the front of the brake master cylinder for the rear brakes.
