CPP rear disc brake question

Are these on incorrectly? I think I goofed. Doesn't the bleed have to go above the line?

Re: CPP rear disc brake question

if you switched sides would the bleed port then be above the hose? Also the e-brake connection is usually on the bottom.

Yes. Didn't want to change it unless necessary though. I guess when in doubt, change it out

Re: CPP rear disc brake question

Swap calipers and brackets side for side...bleed nipples are always above hose fittings.

BTW...That is a really nice setup...love those wooden wheel blanks !

LOL. Thanks. They're not perfectly round but very effective. And cheap.

Second that, swap em around. CPP must have something backwards cause I just did the same thing on my dads 55 bel air. Or maybe I just read em backwards...Idk

When in doubt call CPP tech support they're great and were very helpful when I converted my 68 C10 to 4 wheel disc brakes
