I've just got my late ('76) front brake calipers back from being rebuilt but I don't know which is the left (drivers) side and which is the right (passenger) side.
I can see a difference in that one of the bleed screws is recessed, does this go to the top or the bottom? Picture attached. Please can all respondents agree, I don't need anymore confusion!  |

Calipers were designed to be interchangeable. The secret is the direction of the pistons in the caliper, 20 degree angle goes to top. Pistons should have clip retainer. It always goes to the top
