Not to get too picky here but the Left rear is furthest from the master
cylinder.
This is as the fluid travels not as the crow flys. Same on the front,
L/F is further then R/F.
The fluid travels from the master to the "T" (or junction on later
models) from there it splits and goes back to another "T" where it goes
to the to the 2 rear wheels.
In essence the juice goes from the left side of the car over to the
right side and back to the left side. Note that brake line from right
side running across the front of the car to the left under the steering
rack.

 This is on left hand drive cars.

had to replace a brand new defective clutch (all of 5 miles on it) in a
Midget! I didn't buy it but I know where it came from. (see a future
