Dana, There are twin and single bleed calipers around of the earlier (pre-April 71) style. It doesn't matter which you have until you want to drain the old fluid! Even with two bleed screws, they have to go the right way round, with the piston cut-out and retainer plate downwards, or you get uneven pad wear. Don't mix them up with the later type with a bigger separation in the mounting holes. You have to have the right spacing on the mounting bolts. You could swap the stub axle and back plate assemblies from a newer one, I guess, if you want the bigger calipers. Dave Hall.
