Front caliper help needed.

I need a pic of the inner side of a front caliper installed. I had my calipers powder coated a year ago and i had to remove all the fittings. I'm ready to reinstall them, but i cant remember which fitting go into which hole. I have 4 holes. I know one is for the bleed screw and one hole is for the brake hose. One of the extra holes is on the other piston chamber and the other hole is opposite of the bleed screw hole.

TIA

Be better if you post a pix of your caliper.

Sounds like you're describing a C3 caliper.

Bleeder #4, upper most hole "C"
Block off "A"
Brake Line on "B"
Block off "D"
---------------------------------------
By the way, my '02 does not have holes "A" or "D". That calliper could be used on either side.
--------------------------------------------
All need a washer except the bleeder screw.
