Nice work Ray, but this shot looks to me like the caliper belongs on the opposite side and inverted, so the bleeder screw will be at the top rather than the bottom.

And while probably not a problem now, the pad locating pins could be reversed too. Putting the heads on the inside makes the pins easier to drive out with a punch if rust-bound.

Thanks for letting us watch your progress.
