Interesting. Of course, for those of you that have driven with me I don't use brakes. So it doesn't matter... right?
The casting is a proper indicator. I just talked to a Wilwood engineer and he confirmed that you are correct. I hadn't considered the heat transfer implications and he discounted them. But I had mounted them to cancel the uneven pad wear that plagued me with the Superlite II's. They have run true and flat all this time. What a hoot after all of these years!
To install with the small pot leading, one of two things must happen. Only one of them is possible in this car, and it's easy to do... maybe this weekend!
1. Not possible in this car without custom mount points: Mount the calipers on the back side of the rotors, swap sides and leave the bleeders where they are now.
2. Possible in this car: swap the crossover tube and the bleeder screws in both calipers and switch sides with the calipers inverted from their current positions.
Thanks!!!
Naturally, I'd better not see the uneven pad wear return after I mount them like they were designed. Wow, I'd better go and check that my motor is in right-side up!
Ok, let the pokes begin... go on. You know you want to.
