mark_smugglers Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hi 1) Has anyone got a photo of where the two pipes from the master cylinder go down to the chassis (and then front and back). Specifically, do they go through the hole I’m pointing to (I don’t think so, but if not, what does?.) 2) Also, do they come down by the wiper motor (ie the flat bit shown top right) or come down nearer the battery (top left). Sometimes it’s the simplest things that there are no pictures of! 3) Finally,: does the front port of master cylinder go to the t piece and to the front brakes, and the rear from master cylinder feed the back, or the other way round? I’m struggling with the two pipes left in my automec pipe kit and trying to work it out. Thanks all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark69 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I’m pretty sure the rear port on the master cylinder connects to the t piece. pipe no 1 master cyl to t piece pipe no17 master cyl to union Hope this helps Mark.

Thanks mark. Much appreciated. So it sounds like the rear port feeds the front brakes and vice versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I don't think you can mix up front/rear pipes from the MC. The threads are different. Or is that only on US cars? Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is that only on US cars? Ed You’re right Ed they are different. I think my confusion is more to do with the Automec pipes I’ve got. MC is I think 3/8 at front, 7/16 at back I think I have Automec pipe 1, which is 3/8 male at one end (so fits front of MC), 7/16 male at the other end (fits T piece). So that’s fine. However the other is Automec pipe 17, which seems to be 3/8 male one end (so too small for the rear of MC) and has a female fitting the other end (so I guess I’m missing a connector) Hope this makes sense. .
