Brake Master... Truly independent circuits?

[DaveS53]

Tandem master cylinders have a volume ratio, usually 2:1, with more fluid going to the front. In the normal position, the front port goes to the front brakes. Hot rods like mine with an under floor mounted MC have the MC pointing backward, so the back port goes to the front.

lol - that seems certain to cause some confusion...

True - a better wording would be more (circuit) volume is (usually) allotted to the front calipers.

This is the rear circuit on the OP's MC and installation.

The OP told us that he has a '95 Cobra master cylinder Dave. Your statement that the front port goes to the front brakes is wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time. I just assumed a Wilwood MC from the looks.
