Interestingly I was saved from making this error as my new replacement cylinders are handily stamped "L" and "R".

They would however be great braking when going in reverse! [thumbsupbig]Quote:

On the TLS 11 in brakes, there are connecting lines running along the backing plate feeding fluid from the top brake cylinder to the bottom. Each cylinder has a one flat and one angled threaded female connection.
My question is: does it matter which one receives fluid and which sends it? Should the input be on the piston side? I've put the bleed nipple on the bottom angled connection as this permits unobstructed access. Just wondering if the brake line is connected to the correct thread on the top cylinder.
It doesn't matter which connection you use. On all of mine the pipe linking the wheel cylinders is on the straight port. The bleed nipple & flexible hose go to the angled connections.
I've made sure that the connecting pipe is behind the swivel hub to give it some protection but again no reason why it can't be in front.

Thanks, that’s what I thought, but worth asking for confirmation. I think I’ll run the lead line to the bottom cylinder and locate the bleed nipple to the top for convenience.
Just relocated bleed nipple to top. Hopefully this will make tomorrow mornings work a little easier.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/456.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/457.jpg
