Front or Rear M/Cylinder?
I've got twin wilwood master cylinders which I purchased fron Stuart taylor ages ago. My brain is fading and so can't remember which is
which.
One has a 0.625 bore and the other is 0.75. The question is: which one for the front and which is the rear?
Thanks

you'd normally have the bigger cylinder on the front, smaller on the rear

That's what I thought but had this nagging doubt about the smaller bore giving a higher pressure for the same pedal effort. Just a bit confused.

Depends on the volume of your slave cylinders and are you using a brake bias?
I have used .625 on the fronts and 0.75 rear and that worked for sva.

Nearly always smaller bore to the front in my experience

Thanks chaps
I am using a bias bar. Given the difference in cylinder size do I set them evenly and let the cylinders do the work?
As far as the brakes go they are standard cortina calipers up front and standard 9" cortina rear drums.
