929 master ports.

929 master ports.
Ok I have questions.... I recently upgraded to the V8r Stoptech brakes and also upgraded to the 929 1" master. Now my question is which port goes to the front brakes and which goes to the rear line. I assumed it was like the Miata, front port front brakes, rear port rear brakes. I also assumed based on the shape of the front port that it was a bubble flare port but after looking at the picture of the V8r master cylinder brace that there's a banjo fitting there. Ugh I hate brake lines... someone please set me straight. FYI my system doesn't leak even if it looks like a hot mess haha.

It doesn't matter which port you connect to the front or rear. Looking at the picture, it appears that you have everything hooked up properly.
I'm not sure what flare the port is on that MC. I would assume it would be a double/inverted flare since its for a Japanese car. Bubble is usually on European cars. The banjo fitting came on factory 929 MCs, but I have not seen them included on the aftermarket ones from Rockauto. The raybestos catalog/website lists Primary Port Thread A 9/16"-18, so it more than likely is double/inverted.
Was your MC made in Japan?

So I never tried the using my banjo piece from my Miata master thinking that it would have come with one like the aftermarket 1.6 Miata ones do. The port on my new Dorman master was m10 in the front and the bubble flare line seemed to seat just fine and isn't leaking (yet). I'm guessing I have just been lucky so far. I'll make sure to get it properly bled (I just left the bleeder open till I got fluid out (haven't had time to phone a friend) then get the vacuum booster hooked up so I can properly mash this pedal and make sure it doesn't leak.
