Tried many searches, asked a couple people... getting ready refill my brake system. The larger section of the two in the brake fluid reservoir is currently connected to the rear brakes. I hooked my hoses up like the pic below (items 11 & 12) when I put on my new master cylinder. Is the reservoir larger because the volume of the rear brake system holds more fluid? Or am I backwards? Or does it not matter?
BTW - I know they are connected this way because I just sent my rear calipers out to Eric Shea for refurb and rear lines were left disconnected = brake fluid on the floor when I forgot to cover the reservoir with plastic to prevent the fluid from leaking out (no mysterious leaks / problems on the front brakes). |

OK in this case, the drawing is the way it is suppose to be. . . the front of the reservoir is for the front brakes. . . that lower plastic line goes through the body hole that is towards the passenger side, and curves back to the front of the master cylinder. . . so the rear of the reservoir , for the rear brakes, and it's lower plastic hose goes through the hole on the drivers side and curves to the rear port on the master cylinder. .
