does it matter

Hi

daft question, does it matter whether you fit the bleed nipple to the front or the rear on the drum brakes. Also do you simply drill a hole in the sloping side of the rear hub carrier to connect the flexi to the really short copper pipe (any photos greatly appreciated)
I'm finalising my rear brake pipe/handbrake cable route and if I connect the flexi and short copper pipe to the front I'm worried the flexi and handbrake cable will push each other into the suspension.

Can anyone clarify exactly what constitutes the pipes/cables fouling the rear suspension for SVA

thanks in advance for the assistance

Don't the bleed nipples normally fit at the top?

this is with the 8" under over brake cylinder, but with the one where one goes forward, one back, send the brake pipe back, and bleed nipple forward. just makes the flexi run a bit easier, as it puts it in the space behind the wishbones.

the under over cylinder needs tighter bends, but ffs, don't drill the upright!
