Right, it doesn't matter in terms of interference but the hose routing is better if the calipers are to the front of the spindle. When the calipers are to the rear of the spindle you have a short hose that has to routed just right or else it will kink. In front of the spindle you can use an off the shelf hose without any problems.




For the record, I used the 70-74 E-body calipers and hoses for the front mounted position on my '68 A-body conversion and 78 C-body calipers with GM/Firebird hoses for the rear mount conversion on my '70 E-body. The later uses a banjo style conection, and fit's beautifully. I'd have to look up which year the hoses are, or just ask Dr. Diff. That's where I got my parts.
