Rear calipers rotation
Hi guys,
Had this on the Haynes specific part but no replies.
About to fully weld my rear hubs up with the roatation of the calipers.
The book said horizontal but supplier of hub said horizontal causes issues with handbrake cable.
So I have put them at about 45 degrees. Can not see any issues but would be very greatfull to your inputs before I commit and fully weld.
Many thanks all

What size wheels are you planning on having. Sierra rear brakes struggle to get 13's over

I did have to move them because of handbrake but I can't remember what position they ended up and I am not near the car so I can't have a
look I do remember that the bleed nipples ended up at the bottom so proved a bit tricky to bleed them
