Rear hub assembly

Hello All

I'm after a few pictures of a complete rear hub assembly using disk brakes etc, I am looking to see were you all have placed your calipers etc (ie at the front of the rear wheel or at the rear)

the mk's is towards the rear, approximately 35-40 degrees from the vertical (i think, I am sure someone will correct me)
However, in the build manual the calipers need to be bled when off the hubs
Hope this helps

Calipers not hung on this but you can see the position of the bracket.

Just have to remove the caliper if bleeding the brakes. Rescued attachment NSR_suspension22Jan2005.JPG

Calipers often get mounted upside down to make the handbrake cable route easier. It just means you have to remove them while bleeding the rear brakes.
