Does anyone have any images of the Wilwood rear brake setup (with the emergency built in). I installed them according the Wilwood instruction, but after starting the front brakes notice the image in the instruction was opposite of my spindle direction. As it turns out, I was told with the '33 you do mount them opposite what the directions (diagram) shows, hence thinking the rear should be flip based on that theory??? Right now the rear calipers face top front.

It may depend on which rear end you have. With the IRS, the Wilwood calipers are on the back side. They can't be installed reversed - the calipers interfere with the control arms. Keith

Sorry, solid axle (3-link) - I also have the emergency brake built in the calipers.

That particular caliper needs to mount on the front side of the rotor because the caliper will not clear the coil over

I have the solid axle, 4 link, with Cobra brakes. The calipers are one the rear. 821578215782157 No clearance issues so far.
