Default Brake Caliper Question for c4c5specialist

I removed my calipers and brackets to have them powder coated and now I am having trouble telling which side is which? Are the brackets the same left and right? Which way do the bleed valves go, up or down? Help.

Thanks,

H ithere,
No, they are left and right specific, and the bleeder screw MUST be pointed up.
This should help you find which side is which.
Please keep us posted, c4c5

Sorry, calipers are right and left, the bridges are the same.
Forgot to be more specific, c4c5
