Taking a closer look at the corvette master this weekend the front port (larger bowl) is the 1/2-20 port and the smaller bowl (close to booster) is the 9/16-18 port. So should I still plum it the same way? Larger bowl to the front brakes and smaller bowl to the rear brakes?

I had a little garage time this weekend so I started to bend up the new lines. I got all new fittings as well as female tube joiners.
