I've got and fitted this...

http://www.justkampers.com/shop/typ...g-system/calipers/caliper-kit-both-sides.html

...but I noticed that LH and RH calipers were different; one had the brake hose connection in the middle (as in the picture in link above) and the other the hose connection was at one end. The labels on the boxes gave it away as to which was which, but it was too late for me as I'd already taken them both out without realising.

Anyone know which is which and why they're different? Some brake pipe routing issue on later bays I'm guessing. Doesn't seem to effect the early bay setup too much from what I can see.
 
I have the same kit fitted to my '71.
When i ordered it i got sent 2 passenger side calipers but it was a long time before i noticed it so i was stuffed, just make sure that the bleed nipples are at the top (i had to fit 1 of mine upside down which means removing the caliper and inserting something between the pads and turning the caliper up the right way to bleed the brakes properly).
Dont think the routing of the brake lines will make to much of a difference.
 
Froggy.....calipers from march 71> were fitted with two nipples top and bottom :?

ok scrub that there new calipers not refurbed late :oops:
