Doing a twin pot upgrade and I am reconditioning the calipers and have mixed up the slider frames when painting. I think the term is correct but the frame I am referring to is the bit that the pads fit in.
The questions.
On the drivers side does the slider frame have the pin whose rubber boot goes all the way through the frame at the top or bottom when mounted?
Does the caliper when mounted have the bleeder at the top or bottom when mounted?
Bleeder should always be at the top mate.

Here ya go bloke..
Left passenger, right drivers..
Bleeder to the top.
Mine are also stamped on the opposing flat spot from the bleed nipple..
Can you take a pic showing the right caliper up the other way so the inside of the caliper is showing?
I still need to work out which slide belongs to which caliper.
Answer: the pin with the rubber boot that goes through the frame is mounted on the opposite end to the bleeder, the bleeder is top most when on the vehicle.
They must be different to the gu ones as the gu ones look reversible http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/10/391.jpg
Here is a link to a gq twin reco.

You can see one slide pin comes all the way through the frame where the black round end of it is visible.
Yea that's different.. I wonder why that is?? Anyway. Glad you got it sorted?Quote:

Was looking at a ranger as we intend to go around the block at some stage and LPG availability is not going to cut it.
Bugger mate. Come all this way and didn't see the best bits. .Quote:

you have your bus near perfect, why start again.
Installed them last weekend with dimpled and slotted disc's, needs another bleed though. The bolts in my single pot calipers appear identical to the new ones, anyone know why the forums recommend new bolts, I assumed because they were different.Quote:
