Re: Rear brakes lock up before fronts

Mongocanfly might be on to something w/the line sizes but your master cyl is equal size (not a stock replacement) so the line fittings connect where they fit. I could see an issue if you bought everything from separate sources & were trying to piece parts together (lines from source #1; master cyl from source #2; prop valve from source #3) but it seems you're working w/a kit of some sort.

A disc/disc set-up has proportionally smaller piston sizes for the rears on OE set-ups & even most aftermarket kits. If your set-up is utilizing D52 calipers front & rear, you're going to need to adjust the hydraulics to dial things in.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
