1Le Front Brake question
Should the caliper/pad holding brackets be installed so that the pad retaining pin is on the top or the bottom?.....I have seen pictures of them both ways!!

I'm puzzled by your question, so perhaps the following pics will be useful.

Re: 1Le Front Brake question
Thank You...The pictures answered my question.....the caliper retaining pin should be at the bottom of the caliper....I wasn't sure because I have seen the calipers/brackets installed with the retaining pin on top...Cheers!!

Re: 1Le Front Brake question
You should have 2 pins... 1 pin each one on top one on the bottom.

Re: 1Le Front Brake question
Nope, only 1 pin. The pads hold caliper on other side of caliper. Its a quick change design for track use.
