legacy brake master cylinder swap on Loyale

[fishstix]

Hello Gents!

So I'm parting out an old 92 legacy turbo. I pulled the Master cylinder and thought it might fit the Loyale. The main difference is the loyale has three lines coming out and the Legacy only has two. I also looked up in a Chilton's and found the legacy and the loyale front and rear positions are swapped? So the line near the fire wall on the loyale goes to the front brakes but on the legay it goes to the back. 

My questions are:

Can I delete the third line with the Hill Hold system and just add a T?

Does the front and rear positions matter?

Subarus use diagonal systems, one circuit will be LF/RR and the other RF/LR. It does not matter which is which.

The 2-port master is for the ABS cars, because the ABS system is the "T" that splits the 2 circuits into 4. The hill holder does the same. So yes, you can just use a splitter. Similarly, you can use a 4-port master (non-ABS, non-hill holder) by blocking off the extra ports.

Off the top of my head, the Loyale is probably a 7/8 bore, and the Legacy is probably 1". This will reduce the mechanical advantage between the master and the caliper/cylinders. Good option if you've also replaced with larger capacity calipers, though (I have a 1 1/16" SVX master in my XT6, but I also have early WRX front calipers, and 200SX rears)
