Yes, should certainly have the bleed screws at the top, you won't get much air out of the bottom. My Wilwoods have bleed screws at the top and bottom but i've never bleed the bottom ones, didn't seem much point as all the air would be at the top.

That's a fair point Darren and I've heard of that problem with mini calipers.

I've got the calipers fitted with the bleed screws at the bottom but maybe they should be at the top, so effectively I may have fitted the n/s to the o/s and the o/s to the n/s (they came with the bleed screws already fitted). There are two on each caliper and they may be interchangeable top to bottom - need to check if there are blanks at the other end or swap them side to side. Worth a try at least.

Many moons ago when I did a 4pot conversion to a mini , I had to bleed the front brakes with the calipers off the car as they had to be manipulated due to the bleed screw being in the wrong place. If you didn't you had no pedal due to a air pocket in the caliper

        Hi Martin,
        Not sure about the areas but the Cosworth calipers are
        certainly bigger than the original XR2 ones were and worked
        ok. The Hispec 4 pots are smaller diameter but spread over a
        larger pad area to give more even pressure.

        know an alternative, but it depends what the requirements
        are. It could be that a larger bore master cylinder is
        needed, but some dimensions will be needed to calculate.
