I'm doing the rear disc conversion but don't know which way the calipers go.
Does anybody know if the spring for the E-brake is on the top or bottom.

heres one good way to tell without seeing them, the bleed screws must point up (positioned up) or you won't be able to bleed the brakes as the air will rise to the top to be purged.
