521 Front brake banjo fitting orientation

[tsekc]

Does anyone have a picture of the banjo fitting on the front brake at the wheel cylinder that will show the correct orientation? Mine had/has the supply port pointing up and aft, and it does not seem quite right. The brake hoses come close to contacting the suspension when turned to the stops.

Here's a link to a pic of my current orientation:

Not 100% sure this is correct in reality, but...

Thanks for the response. I have that pic from the Service Manual. It would make it appear that the supply port points aft, but doesn't clearly show if pointing up or down. Mine points up. I tried it down and I think it's better. I saw another diagram that almost made it look as though it pointed forward.

I'll try to get a picture of mine in a little bit

Not mine, but one I just found...

Sounds good. Thanks.

OK, good. That pic would seem to indicate aft and down. I searched for a pic like that and couldn't find one.

Here's from the back of my passenger side

OK, perfect. That clearly answers the question.  Thanks so much for taking the pic.
