A friend of mine is running disc brakes front an rear and is using a vet master clinder, does it matter which chamber goes to the front or rear brakes. He mounted it back wards from what is normally mounted.

if its a 4 wheel disk. brake master cylinder then it shouldnt make no dif., but why not just put the lines where they should go? turning the master cylinder around wouldnt keep you from using the same out lets. if i didnt know no better, id run the front line to the front brakes if thats the way it was made to work. if for whatever reason i couldnt then id do it the other way.

this says it need to be OEM ????????

Front chamber goes to rear brakes, rear to front brakes. Makes a difference.

Ditto to Tech!

Rear to the front and front to the rear was when you had front disk and rear drums and the disk brake chamber in the master cylinder was bigger because the calipers took more fluid to fill them up than the wheel cylinders did. dif. size pistons and everything. he needs a 4 wheel disk brake master cylinder and everything should be the same.

The Vet MS is 50/50 on pressure front to rear. The cylinder volume difference is based upon caliper volume; the fronts usually having larger pistons.

If there is no caliper volumetric difference it does not matter which chamber is plumbed to the front or rear.

ill drink to that.

you're just looking for a reason to take a drank.

Thanks for the info guys, I will pass it on to my buddy. I agree that putting the lines where they should go makes sence, the body is not on the frame yet so it would be no problum changing them just to be sure.
