Disc Brake conversion issues?

[SirGeo]

Ok.. now before I make a complete d|ck of myself and go on about how much trouble i've been having with my brakes...

Are the calipers (disc brakes) meant to be towards the front or the back?

that didn't work ?

hmmmm.. ok so i did do it wrong...

going from drum to disc the only reference I had was a saab (front) Hiace Van (front) and '90 Jag.. all facing front.. so i thought, hey, they are meant to face front..

But when turning (with them facing front) the piston housing on the caliper knocks the sway bar, as can be seen in the following pic..

I thought i might have to switch it around, but wasn't sure..

355

And yeah just looking at Kurt's pic of the willwoods looks like it's meant to go on the back...

Strange.. I'll switch them around... dumb thing was I put the first one in the wrong way (or right way now) at the begining before i went and thought i'd go check to be certain.. next time i go with gut instincts...
