Default cossie rear calipers?

Has any body got any pics of how a caliper sits on the rear of a 2wd saph cossie? I have fitted a rear disc conversion to my mk4 escort turbo and am having real trouble getting them to bleed up properly?
I have been told that the reason the dont bleed properly is because they are mounted at a different angle on a cossie and air gets trapped inside the callipers when using the burton power conversion brackets?

they won't bleed properly in that position as the bleed nipple is at the btm

your best bet would be to separate the caliper, place something in it to take up the gap and bleed it with the nipple at the highest point- then just wind back the caliper and put it back on
