Front Caliper Orientation
« on: June 22, 2009 - 07:49:37 PM »
Can anyone confirm the orientation of the front brake disc calipers for a 70 challenger?  My service manual shows that the calipers are positioned at about the 10 o'clock position when  facing the wheel with the bleeder port "up".  When installing that way, the flexible brake hose seems to need too much of a bend to reach structural attach point.  The other option here is to swap the spindles, and have the calipers relocated to the 2 o'clock position.  The flexible hose appears like it would fit better that way.

Thanks
