cossie rear disc conversion, caliper orientation?
anybody got any pics of their cossie rear disc conversion set ups, in particular in which orientation they have the caliper sitting?
might sound a stupid question like, but iv come to bolt my new 1s on, and from the pics iv seen the handbrake spring part seems to sit on the top, but that then leaves the bleed nipple at the bottom? wont that make them kinda hard to bleed?
hopefully its a simple answer, and im just being a faff, but thought i best check now lol
cheers

well i must be missing something here then, cos if i have it so the spring is towards the top, the bleed nipple will obviously point downwards
so that spring either sits at the highest point, with the handbrake cable coming thru from above, and the bleed nipple pointing down. or the spring sits at the lowest point, the cable comes through from the bottom, and then the bleed nipple points upwards
i cannot see how u cud come to the conclusion that the spring AND the bleed nipple could be at the highest point lol

the calipers are designed to sit at the top of the brake disc which is why they will be orientered to have their nipples as they are
from the pic the one in the front will go on the passenger side and the other will be on the other side, obviously
the way you have them bolted on, i'm not sure if they'll work that way, but obviulsy the lower hole that's blanked off is for the brake pipe
