    Hi looking for info on fitting hydro (if its correct)
    ive comp brake hydro and .625 also have driftworks lines
    heres what i would like to know, is hole at back of .625 cylinder goin to rear brakes and other to master cylinder ?
    also ive got it fitted like this at the moment and its all tight just the rear hose is leaking at the fitting on the .625 its as if the adapter for the hose is to short and not sealing up against the lip inside the .625

    any ideas?

    if i remember it correctley the rear hole is the 1 you feed front the master cylinder and the front 1 goes back to the brakes.

    well man jus after getting this kit also, yea bang on the left1 goes to reservoir and right to brakes the oppisite of what you'd expect it to be..basically the shorter out of the 2 lines goes to reservoir!! as for your leak maybe uv ur male & females the wrong way around. have a look inside the fittings & you'l get ur head around it

    on most handbrake cylinders the nipple for sealing is way to far down in the hole best thing to do is get a copper washer and have it seal against the top of the cylinder,
