If the numbers refer to the size of the cylinder, then i would work on the basis that most of the braking is done on the front, so put the larger capacity cylinder on the front.

Check what the numbers mean though. Do they actually say .5 and .7 or is there no decimal?

Surely its the other way around? Smaller the bore greater the pressure?


If not I need to do some swopping!

Most sevens with discs front and back use 0.625 on the front and 0.7 on the back.

Just remember seeing 5 and 7 on them.
My friend said I should ask on here to check.
The smaller one probably does go on the front due to the fronts having to lock before the rear drums.

Smaller bore on front Larger on rear. You can sort out balance with the balance bar after that.
