Default curently fitting master cylindrrs to my pedalbox

I have 2 new girling mastercylinders for my pedalbox, .70 and .625 am i right in thinking the .625 is for the front brakes? Using focus rs front brakes and cosworth 2wd rears.

Yes. Smaller cylinder for the larger brakes.

It's a work in progress mate. Can't work on it this weekend. My threads as far as I've got., so far. I'm looking at re-designing my pedal box as well. Are you still using the Compbrake like mine or something different?

The compbrake one but i went for girling master cylinders. It's on my table as I write this lol. I'm just putting it together. I'm not to keen on the bit that goes through the centre which attatches to both the master cylinders with the bar. The fact that it only has one bearing in the part that pivots doesn't seem that great. When i push the rod by hand it's going on the piss abit, but i can see that both master cylinders are working. Just thought if it had two bearings the bar would be alot more stable and push both cylinders evenly
