Identifying Brake Master Cylinder
I would like to know if my tandem M/C is the same bore in both chambers or has a smaller front end chamber.
Also which of the two outlets, front or rearward, should the front discs or rear drums be connected into.
I did a rubbing of the number cast into the body and it looks like it's probably 646776860324 C (maybe G)
I was told by the scrappy it was Cortina when I bought it.
Thanks in anticipation

Front brakes are normally the connections furthest away from the pedal end .

Every time I think I've found the answer I find another to the contrary.
I figure that if both chambers are the same size it doesn't matter but if they differ then it does. ???
found this for instance,

I think I have finally got my brakes sorted.
Today I took my car by trailer to my local MOT garage and we ran through the whole thing on the brake rollers.
Left & right almost the same so well within limits on both axles and fronts better than the rears.
He had to fish out a sort of circular slide rule chart thingy to work out the required braking force for the weight
of the car and said that if this had been a proper MOT it would have passed with flying colours.
Considering the disruption I caused with everyone stopping work to watch, the charge of £20 seemed reasonable.
Money well spent.
Now to book that IVA re-test. Yeeeeeee Hah !
Cheers,
