Hi,
I just wanted to confirm that on the manual for the MK4 and MK5 the front and rear MC's are switched.

On the MK5 Manual it states the following:
From the right (Rear brakes) master cylinder (page 273)

Where as for the MK4
page 149, shows the right being front, left being rear.

I guess it does not matter fully as you can adjust this with the balance bar?

I should have put this on the non build threads -- sorry!!!

It really doesn't matter as long as the balance bar is properly adjusted for the desired front/rear bias.
