It's all upside down!

No joke. My brake calipers seem to be installed upside down.

Are there any downsides to this? Recommended to switch sides asap?

My front ones are like this:

And it should be like this:

Definately get them swapped around.... The bleed nipple is usually at the highest point and with them like that they are likely to be full of air.

Wow.

Yes, change them

carriers are on the wrong side.

I'll get it sorted soon. Thanks guys

calipers will be on the correct sides as the flexi wont reach if you fitted them upside down.

As above, just undo the caliper off the carrier (with the brake line attached) and remove the carrier and swap it with the other side, doing the same process. Cable tie the caliper somewhere on the strut to keep it out the way, or resting on the top of the discs if you are steady.

Cheers, I didn't know they were called carriers. Not a native English speaker

I'll have to check if the nipples are on the top, then I'd only have to change the carriers over.

LOL what clown fitted them ha

 

[hostler]

Nipples are on top of the calipers. So only need to change the carriers. Pfew

Thanks guys
