Being a new Miata owner, I am slowing building up the car to spec.

Start from simple things: spent this morning replaced the leaky clutch slave cylinder, then moved on to upgrading stainless brake lines. Soon realized the rear passenger side brake fluid distributor is wrong! Look at the pic, its only got one hole! LOL! Its good that I started on this corner first, as that would be the order if I were to bleed the brakes. Anyways, I am contacting the seller now. I wont disclose the seller's name yet as I am still contacting them, but I would like to think they are a reputable seller in the miata community, not some random ebay merchant.

On a Miata the left rear is farthest from the master cylinder. Definitely contact the vendor with your concern. I can't remember off the top of my head - are both rear brake lines the same?

I'm not sure why you are concerned about this, that hole is just to hang the brake line block to the chasis, while it may be wrong I would think it would easily hand from the bottom stud and work just fine.

That's what I thought, too, Kyle.  It looks like that's a simple mounting hole.  Nothing to get excited about, I'd think.  I wonder why Mazda had two.

The supplier that I use has switched to the single mounting hole. It works just fine.
