Default Trying to fit AP cp6600 calipers to a sapphire

The limited edition red 4pots, (Disk bells supplied by Reyland) can anybody guess whats not quite right with these?????

or does it not matter about the piston size and order? Should this be mounted on the front of a suspo strut and can I just swap the bleed nipples for the joining hose?

The question really is what car were these originally specced for that ran them on the front of the suspo struts? I am just going to swap the pipe for the nipples but wondered which car they were meant for??

you can just swap over the crossover pipe and bleed nipple location. all you have to get right is the piston size order relative to the disc travel direction, and have the bleed nipple at the top.

Disk bells are stamped REYLAND, was supplied by ZOO then maybe or?? They are not mine but am fitting them for somebody who had them included in a cossie purchase. The previous owner bought them new but never fitted them before sale of car, presumed it was a full REYLAND kit? Apologies.
Anybody know any other application these were built for out of interest?
