I see many new builds of various AC following the caliper mounting on the bottom. It would be a small matter, to move it forward during construction! Is forward the better location?
There was some discussion that tire distortion, on landing, might contact the caliper and pinch the tube. Wouldn't this be less likely with the caliper forward? May have less drag also?
