Hi,
I'm not a Mitsubishi owner, however will be using a master cylinder
from a 95 GSX (AWD/turbo) as an upgrade, on my 44 year old car. Can
anyone tell me which port on the MC serves the front brakes?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

RJ

Always the front brakes are best to be actuated before the rear brakes
so the first well to be used would be the one at the front of the
piston or the one closest to you as you sit in the drivers seat
pushing the pedal.

I appreciate your comments and fully understand the principles of
braking. However, many master cylinders are designed to work opposite
of what you state and the rear port (closest the firewall) goes to the
front brakes.

Do you have a 95 GSX and did you look under the hood?

That's what I said, "the one closest to you as you sit in the drivers
seat pushing the pedal."

Thanks again - That is the way I proposed to do it. However, I asked
this question on a couple forums and the only response was from a "dolt"
on the DSM page who advised the front port goes to the front brakes.
I will reverse the lines.

You are obviously a person of good judgement (because you choose not to
drive a Mitsubishi car), so why trust your valuable 44 year old car to be
stopped by a Mitsubishi master cylinder?

A) I've not chosen to boycott Mitsubishi cars. If the MC has been
selected to solve a problem on another vehicle, it's because it fits the
research and it physically works. Your assessment of Mitsubishi, has
obviously been slanted by a personal problem or problematic car.
Unfortunately there must be some in every crowd who experience this type
of Karma. You must have P.O.'d the gods for this to happen to you.
Repent and you will be saved..

I've already disassembled it and checked out the internals.
Mechanicals are mechanicals and there's nothing there to suggest any
reaction, other than what you expect.

P.S. I drove the living crap out of a 64 Galant, in Saudi Arabia from
1982 - 1985. If they can take that kind of abuse, they are to be
commended....
