koserv Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm due for new front calipers and updated fittings this winter and have a quick question....Are calipers ambidextrous? The new lines and fittings would work better with the calipers flipped (bleed bolts down and banjo inlet up). This is for a 4th gen F-bod with the LS two piston calipers. Seems to me they are not "handed", but I've already had one on-track brake adventure and don't want a stupid human trick repeat.... As always, thanks in advance.

DC88GT Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It is my understanding that bleed screws should never be at the bottom of the caliper. It makes it almost impossible to get air out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Moments Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It is my understanding that bleed screws should never be at the bottom of the caliper. It makes it almost impossible to get air out. I was thinking the exact same thing. Bleed screws should be as high as you can get them.

koserv Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 The general consensus here and elsewhere is "bad idea". I can make it work without the flip-flop, but it would have solved a problem. Just another 2-beer, late night, out in the shop "yeah, I can fix it like this...." Thanks all...
