Default AP 4pot CP6600 red callipers problem?? Pics added!

Right i have a set of CP6600 4pot red limited edition calipers and 330mm disks and bell, 2wd Disk bells supplied by REYLAND, kit from ZOO. I have the job of fitting these to a sapphire cossie and the caliper doesnt make sense, If they are fitted so the wheel direction indicators are followed correctly and the hoses are on the inside (bear with me) then it means that the smallest piston is at the bottom (this activates the pad first giving a bit of "toe" to the pad?) is this correct?

This makes this a N/side item and means the bleed nipples are on the bottom!!

what car are these calipers specced for originally, Im guessing one with the callipers on the front of the suspo strut or were the bleed nipples just put on the the wrong end of this caliper for the cosworth application? Is the piston order correct and I just swap the nipples/joining hose? anybody?? Pics to follow when Photobucket is back online

The question really was which car did these get specced for that ran them on the front of the suspo strut not the rear like the Sierra. I am just going to swap the nipples for the hose to make these work

Yeah I know that really.
I just wanted to know why they would be supplied in a kit for a cosworth but not fit a Cosworth? Apparently these were NOT supplied by REYLAND, apologies
