914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Front Caliper Mix up

Posted by: 514727625 Apr 1 2006, 11:39 AM

Friends,
I forgot to mark my front calipers (1975 914 4)
Can anyone help identify right from left? or does it matter?

The recessed bleeder hole is the only difference I can see.

Thanks
Rob

Right, lets get serious. Dual bleeders means that it doesn't really matter EXCEPT how the pistons are put in. The notch on the piston face needs to be set with the keepers to the correct angle. Then the keepers always go to the top of the caliper.
