    Where is my "R" front caliper?

    I was getting ready to paint my calipers tonight when I realized they both have an "L" stamped on them. Does anyone know if they are interchangeable or is this an FFR mistake? Thanks.

    Take a look at them to see if they are identical; they shouldn't be as the bleeder valve needs to be above the brake line on both brakes. The L might not mean what you think.

    Unfortunately, they are identical, looks like I will be calling FFR in the morning.

    Dan from FFR contacted me this morning, asked for a picture of the two. He said they would get a "R" out to me. Great customer service!
