    Am running drum/disc combo., the larger chamber is in front of the master cylinder, this is the chamber that should feed the front discs, correct?

    The larger chamber is for the discs, but it is NOT always in the front.

    Huh? I think the front chamber is for the rear brakes. I guess it depends whose master cylinder you are running.

    There are drum/drum masters available from any parts house which have two equal capacity reservoirs.
    The larger chamber, whether front or rear, on a disc/drum cylinder feeds the front disc brakes.

    With a disc/drum setup, if the chambers are different sizes, the large one is always for the discs. It is not always in the front.

    Big kudos to you and gimpys for the pictures and facts about the primary disc/drum chamber not always going to the fronts, something I've had many discussions :rolleyes: about over the years with many "disbelievers". :cool:

    It does, as some have the larger chamber in the rear, while others it's up front. Whichever is larger is front brakes, even in a drum/drum setup.
