In my Haynes Jag XJ6 manual the diagram shows the front caliper connected to the front MC and the rear to the rear MC but the text says exactly the opposite (or vice versa - don't have manual handy).
Don't have the car or the manual handy so can't recall what I did but it seems to work. Normally the smaller cylinder connects to the front and larger to the rear and I think that is what I did.
In fact I now have fitted much bigger discs and calipers to the car and will only know how it works when i test drive it - might reverse connection to restore rear brake balance.
