Default Disk brake swap; Question
I am in the middle-ish of the swap, and have a question. Are the calipers orientated towards the front of the car? I'm pretty sure that is what the instructions are saying, just want to be 100%.

They are all new Kelsey Hayes (original to the 66). I got them from Chockostang. I like the fact that I can buy replacement parts from any auto parts store that can get stock 66 Mustang parts.

Forgive me, but my monitor can't see the pic all to well. Is that facing the front of the car?

Ok, thanks. That's what I thought they said. They just look strange forward, I'm used to the other way.

Yes I know, just seems backwards to me; having them forward and all.
