Re: [Amc-list] More Brake Questions

[Wayne MacQuarrie <waynem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I put a KH setup on my 72 Ambassador 2 years ago and the hose inlets 
were on the top of the caliper. Sounds like you installed the right 
caliper on the left side etc. The hose inlet should always face up if 
possible. Less chance of damage from flying objects.

Good luck
