Switching AP CP5200 Calipers around

Post by Mats »

A couple of friends are possibly parting out their racecar and I'm eying the AP calipers... 8) :)

One problem though, they are "trailing edge" calipers. :(
Because the pistons aren't the same size I can't just put them on the other side, the pads would taper like crazy.

Looking at the calipers I suspect that I could just switch over the crossover pipe and bleed screws but since I don't have the calipers here I can't really see...

Anyone knows if I'm correct in my assumptions?
Barry, I'm looking in your direction... 8) :D

Brilliant, that's what I thought.

Would have been a pretty stupid engineer to design it any other way. :)

Thanks!
