Rear caliper backwards

Post by Divers »

So hypothetically...if I were to install the rear calipers towards the rear of the car instead of the front what would happen. Kinda happened when I was concentrating putting the axles back in...I rotated the mounting plate 180 degrees out. It looks sooooo bloody nice now.....I really dont want to take off :(

Handbrake cable will no doubt be affected, will you be installing the calipers with the bleeder screw at the bottom too? :-)
