How do you bleed that caliper properly?
Easy when I put it on the other side smile, that was the first test fit, and I just grabbed the nearest caliper smile

Are they off of anything or have you pieced them together?
they are off something, but obviously with my own caliper brackets, I also needed the centers machining a little to fit over the hub.

Out of mild curiosity, partly because I'm planning some changes to a car I've been 'restoring' for years without much progress, are you intending making it road legal, and if so, how complicated is it? I'm presuming IVA?
The intention is to put it in for the IVA, but if it becomes to much of a hurdle, then I have access to a recovery truck to move it about. I still haven't worked out the handbrake yet.

Well, the 18" wheels were to small, so now up to 19", and sorted out the handbrake problem with some electric handbrake calipers.





And the handbrake caliper.
