I'm reading through the manual again for the brake system as I prepare to start laying out brake lines. Here is my confusion. This is what the manual text states:

Right is the rear MC and left is the front MC.

Assuming left/right are referenced the standard way relative to the driver's position in the car, the diagram Wilwood provides conflicts with the manual.

In the diagram above, the right is for the front MC and the left is for the rear MC. Which is correct?

The pics are for demonstration only. It doesnt matter which is which. Decide by determining brake line routing.

Thanks guys. That makes sense considering both MCs are the same bore.
