Can anyone advise on how to mount the flexible hose to front caliper on Hk when changed to Hq as it's mounted to rear of rotor?.
Thanks,Topperman.

I have to upgrade a HK shortly using HQ-WB rotors, i'm using L34 calipers. These are the same as HQ PBR but are drilled for a top entry hose and have a threaded plug in the bottom hole. It looks like a relatively easy mod to do to HQ calipers if you can't find L34 examples. The calipers are cast to allow it to be done.

No, they put a plug in the inlet and machined/drilled a hole in the top of the caliper for a top inlet. I think bleeder remains where is. I'll see if I can dig them out for a photo. PM me your email address.
