    GQ Twin pot caliper slider frame which side is which?

    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.

    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

    You can see one slide pin comes all the way through the frame where the black round end of it is visible.

    Just waiting on the shims, bolts and discs to arrive now. Hopefully this will give me a bit better braking with the van on the back.

    How's the conversion going or did you sell it in the end?
