They are interchangeable. They are the same.

Interchangeable, banjo goes in the middle

I have already mounted it just wanted to check and see.
thanks. Rich

What banjo?

Only the early cars have banjo's.

Make sure the bleeder screw is UP.

Great advice for the new guy

No... they're not the same.

Bleeders go up. Early cars with those banjos only have one bleeder and it belongs up top. Later cars have two bleeders but they're still different. The top bleeder is inset further than the bottom.

Those could "probably" be interchanged but...

Make sure the notches in the piston tops are facing the direction of the rotor as it comes through the caliper. They should be 20 degrees off the vertical pad line. If you put the left caliper on the right... you'll want to switch them back.

Ahhh, mixing up car parts in my mind. Sorry, cant be 100% all of the time, only many times

Good thing you're not a doctor

I am only 1/4 of a Dr......unfortunately it is the 1/4 that doesnt realy know a lot of practical stuff, but I can sure save someone that comes into the ER with a genetic deficiency I hated 1st year.


Actually, I guess it is good I am not a Vet! I would be getting my species mixed up and stuff
