Dual Master Cylinder plumbing

I am installing a new dual master cylinder from Classic. After mounting the cylinder, does it matter which port goes to front or rear brake lines. Something is telling me that the forward most port goes to the rear brakes since the cylinder is mounted push rod forward. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Re: Dual Master Cylinder plumbing

The port nearest the pushrod is the front brakes.

Re: Dual Master Cylinder plumbing

g&r is correct, it never made sense that the rear port went to the front brakes
unless you mount it under floor and backwards then the front port goes to the front brakes
