Bubba'd calipers
My front driver's side caliper started leaking on me so I headed to the parts store to get a pair. I was looking over one of the calipers and the parts guy said "according to the computer that's the passenger side". I gave it a good hard look. If I install the caliper on the passenger side the bleeder will be on the lower end of the inner half of the caliper. As currently installed on my vette the bleeder is on the upper end of the inside half of the caliper. Any opinions as to whether these things have been Bubba'd? Bleeder up or down, in or out? :confused:

Your Bubba beats mine. But I just changed out all four calipers and the front right had been covered in orange RTV to stop the leak and the right rear had a finish nail instead of a cotter pin in the pad guide pin.
I can't decide if I bought Bubba's headache or if I'm saving a Vette.
