Which brake line goes to which nipple

ironhorse · Apr 6, 2014

Guys just a quickie Brake calliper front O/S had both brake lines brake when removing to replace swivel housing, I have replaced all that needed doing, but cant remember which brake line feeds which part of the calliper, I have made up new brake feed pipes, am I correct the line that comes from the master cylinder, goes to the top nipple on the calliper, the other line goes back to the pressure feeder.

I take it we have twin circuit calipers here?

Basically the master cylinder has 4 output, one for each line on the front calipers

But, one of the lines is tee'd into the bias valve which feeds the rears

I have swapped out my twin circuit now so can't tell you exactly but basibally each port on the caliper feeds one pair of pistons so it doesn't matter which ones you hook up to which, the pressure is equal

The rear half of the master cylinder is one circuit, front half another

Check out your other side, follow the pipes to see which pair is connected to which

Forget the rear for the time being, it simply piggybacks one of the circuits so it doesn't matter which one

Does any of that make sense?
