As there are different designs of brackets available I'm not sure if there are any problems when it comes to bleeding the brakes? Some brackets put the callipers above the disc and others put them to the rear. So the bleed valve might not sit at the right angle. Is this a problem or doesn't it matter?
I designed my bracket to fit the caliper in the OE position:

It matters not where they fit - as long as the bleed nipple of the caliper is at the top 
What caliper are they designed for scort ? If OE is original equipment then the original equipment has drums

2 different types of Cossie calipers - for solid and vented discs. Not sure if there's any difference in the adaptors needed.
I got my brackets off Clint at Turbosport, but just sold my complete setup - never had any trouble bleeding, caliper sat at about 10 O'clock, same as Nuts.
Edit - I used the 4x4 calipers with vented discs, and my hand brake cable went above the caliper - unlike Nuts.
