So which way around should the pipes be? F 2 R or F 2 F

On my van the front resevior goes to the rear brakes and the rear reservoir goes to the front that is the only way the pipes would fit the threads.

Although the Holden parts manual show it the other way but i'am sure the fitting would only let me hook it up this way .my brakes work better than I remember they did on original van. Jennie sorted typo in reply 12

Yep! He is blinded by the HiVis stripes! And the scotch!!!
smaller cylinder to rear brakes and larger to front which is what you said you had in the first place when they were locking up.
I did a gravity bleed on it tonight and got a s**tload of air out of the l/h rear. I'm thinking that I'll remake the master cylinder pipes and reconnect it the way I had it when it was locking up (caused by the air :Chinand see what happens. It can't get any worse.:(
whoever told you too bleed the brakes the way you did front to rear should be given a good hard pg13en with a hammer.
That's the confusing part....I have conflicting pics of the pipes off the master cylinder going both ways. It makes it hard to work out which way is correct. I'll see what tomorrow brings.....it will either be brakes or heartaches
the conflicting pics are from which books?..hj hx hz had different masters with different plumbing and this is where the fun begins..although the master cylinders look the same externally the size of the pipes change..so one master has large thread at front and one has large at rear which when looking inside the size of the brake chambers change in size..
