Slightly off topic - I have a friend that wants to swap the banjo bolt and bleeder bolt on his gold line caliper - he says it clears out better that way.  Anyone know any reason why that would be a bad idea?

How about it won't work?

The banjo bolt is an open hole into the fluid chamber.

The bleeder has a machined seat to seal.

Are you saying the bleeder won't seal when threaded into the other hole?  From his question, it sounded as thought he had swapped them already and was worried about safety, though it's hard to say for sure.

Both holes are machined for a bleeder on mine.

Banjo bolt doesn't bottom and seals with the washer

Sounds good - I'll pass it on.

I got used to it after a while - I'm sure you will too  ;D
