Here is a pic of mine. You can put the shock in front or behind the wishbone. I put mine behind as it was more upright that way. Rescued attachment Drivers side rear brakes.JPG

Hi,

think you'll find that with the new style
upright the calliper is designed to mount
at the front. This would mean you have
the upright on the wrong side - sorry
Check with marc

i also thought with the new uprights the calipers mount on the front side!?

i'd prefure them the other way to meet up with the copper lines.

did you just swap the uprights around stu?

I did originally fit mine with the caliper at the front but again after going to see Marc and Chris the other week I decided to fit them the conventional way to suit where I had also run my brake pipes. The standard flexi's supplied would not reach with the caliper on the front and copper lines at the rear of the arch.

My adjuster on the shock also hits the wishbone if fitted with it on the inside. I will see if there is clearance when it is on it's wheels, then turn it around.
