6 Pot Caliper Fitting Question
I've just bought a Comp Brake 6 Pot Caliper and 350mm kit off Gav off here (Top Bloke)
But i'm insure which way the calipers go on as with the Comp Brake 6 pots on piston are larger than the other 4 so do the larger ones go at the top or the bottom.
I've quickly put them on the one side with tyhe larger pistons atthe bottom (see photo) plus i'm not sure if the vanes in the rotors are going the right way either.
Cheers Rich

direction of the outer vanes is of no concern. (can vary per brand/make of disc) It's how they are inside. ( when rotating they shoud wayer the air from inside to the outside. Not trying to grap air from the outer edges to the inside. )
As for the calipers, small piston should be leading. This to get a better gradual clamping, and prevent taper wear on the brakepads.
