Callipers

Pretty sure that S1 front brake calipers are not handed looking at two side by side. Only difference is the joining pipe and bleed nipple that can be screwed in to the top or bottom.

Could somebody please confirm.

I think you're right as you just swap the link pipe and bleed nipples for the other side. I'm sure someone will confirm though.

They will probably point out the incorrect spelling at the same time.

They seem to have the same part number.

Yes, they are the same parts, just configured differently.

Hi David. Yes all good mate. I had a issue with the brackets from Elise parts that seemed odd to them. But all fitted :thumbsup
