Hi ALL, on the caliper brackets, they are labeled R, and L. The labels refer to the car as one stands behind the car or from the front of the car?

L and R is as your rear is in the driver’s seat, looking forward, sitting in proper driving position. Passenger=R, Driver=L in US cars.

Make sure the bleeder is on the top side of the caliper. This let's the air out properly.

Any idea where I can purchase the bleeders for the back calipes? I'm upgrade my 4 lugs 5 lug using SN95 spindles and 99 GT calipers.

I would think your Flaps would have them.

FLAPS = Friendly Local Auto Parts Store.
I would start at a Jobber store (one that also serves pros) like NAPA first for bleeders. The new, untrained help at a chain store might think a bleeder requires first aid. ;-)

I just bought new ones for my upgrade at Auto Zone.
There’s a few different thread pitches, so make sure you get the right one...... or buy the variety pack, and find the ones that fit.

They are either 3/8” or 10mm. Ford changed them for some reason.

The same goes for the caliper banjo bolts for the brake hoses. If you're doing Cobra calipers, they changed from fine to course thread somewhere between '98 and '00 if I remember correctly. The calipers themselves also changed, from symmetric piston diameters to one big and one small, but I don't know if that alone indicates the different brake hose bolt.
