Think there should be a number on the ports 21 is L/H/R, 22 is R/H/R. Of the two ports R/H/R goes in L/H port. L/H/R goes in R/H port.
 
Hmmm helpful... ;) what difference does it make? Do you know?

A lot if you have ABS and traction control. Did you not think of checking and marking things up before you stripped them off. Have looked through RAVE and can't find any definitive diagram.
 
Cheers Grrrrr I think its sorted bled up as per RAVE and have a really solid peddle and it stops great.
If your under yours tomorrow it would be great if you could look anyway and post it up here just for someone else in the future.

It'll be when I get home from work.

I've had my modulator / master cylinder out in the past. I'll have a dig around and see if I can find some photos. Got a feeling the original lines may have had little labels on.

EDIT: cannot find any photos. Will have a look tomorrow on the car tomorrow evening.

The labels are numbers that match the ones on the modulator. 23,24 rear left of the modulator as you look from the front of the car and 21,22 front right of the modulator.

Bugger. Files too large to upload. Trying again ... think that worked.

It was a bit hard to follow the pipes all the way back but I think 21 went NSR and 22 went OSR.

EDIT: this is pre 4W TC. No TC and 2W TC are the same. Don't know if it is the same on the 1999 onwards models.

They do indeed

Told him this earlier he says there are no numbers on the modulator. Think he needs to take another look. See post #2.

:) Probably right. Maybe covered in grime?

You can see them on my photos so should be covered. See you mentioned which number goes where which helps too!
 
Grrrr thanks for going to the trouble of taking photos,I really appreciate it!!

I've just been to look and I did get them back on the right way so all is well. Thanks again!
