Can I reverse my M/C ports? October 27, 2007, 10:13:01 PM I have a 2 port Cobra M/C on my thunderbird. Just curious if it matters which port does front and which does rear...? I'd like to swap them cause it's easier to run lines and adapt the metric to standard stuff... Quote Selected

I'd like to swap them cause it's easier to run lines and adapt the metric to standard stuff...i think the prop valve in there for the single resivoir is equally machined. on the older dual resivoir, it matter more and the prop valve is machined unequal. I only know this cause of back when you could get a mc rebuild kit pretty easy as well as caliper rebuild kits. Nowadays, seems like you cant get that sort of stuff very easy unless im not looking hard enough.im actually lost on what you mean about the standard to metric thing but hope i helped some.

Can I reverse my M/C ports? Reply #3 – October 28, 2007, 12:02:08 PM Ok, I was thinking it wouldn't work... but now my other question is which port is supposed to be front and which rear? When I put this m/c I just copied the TC configuration (rear port to rear brakes, front port to front brakes) but it seemed weird to me because the rear's ended up with the 12mm nut and the fronts with the 10mm nut (and I know, it's both 3/16" line and equal pressure but still seemed weird that the rears got the bigger port).Anyway, basically my question, which port goes where?
