Caliper position?

I have just fabricated a 12 bolt to gut in my 91 TA. I originally bought it without a rear end. The calipers and rotors I have we're from an 87 TA (non PBR, non 1le). I am wondering what the position of the calipers are supposed to be. Do they both mount forward of the rear or are they supposed to be opposite? As in 1 rear facing and 1 forward. And if opposite which side forward and which rear. Thanks, Mike

Supposed to be opposite.

Don't recall which one goes to the front and which to the rear; but won't be too hard to figure out. A quick glance at the bleeder screws should do it.

Check the 10-Bolt FAQ for the info you require.
