Question Brake caliper position

Hi all, I know this has been covered before, but there was no definate answer. Where have other builders positioned ther rear calipers. I'm about to finish welding my rear uprights but I'm waiting untill someone can advise on the correct position for RU7/RU8 Some photos would be nice.

Hi, Ive put mine about 45 degrees rearwards from vertical
you may have to swing the caliper a little to bleed but it does give a nice run for the hand brake cable
ive seen the 3ge drum to disc adaptors and i think they do the same

Hi Ray, I remember reading that on your post about the same problem, thanks for the quick response. On a different subject would it be ok to send you a private message?
