Pics anyine

Just putting the front brake pipes onto the master cylinder - and connecting the rear through the union piece - I is there a layout diagram somewhere - I've seen one once I'm sure 🤔

Just putting my brake master cylinder together.

Has anyone / can anyone tell me where the pipes go - I.e. which pipe goes where in the cylinder. Obviously got 2 front, 2 back and one connecting the "junction" 

Thanks in advance  F6E36A26-AE10-4524-BBC6-D45AD9227D2B.jpeg

I will tell you that one front, and one rear are attached at the front two ports, as well as the rear two ports, as in Diagonal braking if the MC fails.  The rears usually go into a proportional valve so that the rear brake cylinders can't lock up on panic stopping.

Some Cabriolets have a rear load sensing proportional valve set up, and later ones don't as the proportional valves are on the mc at the rear lines. and usually located on the front left side (as you look at it) and the right rear port of the mc, then the brake line attaches to the valve.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Thanks for that.

I've got a square block bolted to the servo bracket with 2 side exits and a bottom exit. Then I've got two bottom exits front & back on the MC, then 1 side exit at the rear on the drivers side.

The other 3 ports are a screwed blank and two switches/sensors.

See pic - it'd be a 5 min job fitting up as all pipework ready to go but not sure where they go. 

My old camera died and lost some pics on dismantling hence the "panic"
