Default Question about Performance Machine caliper

Hi everybody,

I have a question about a PM caliper that I've bought. It's the 125x4R caliper.

I would like to know if does it matters in which of both holes you put the purge bolt and the fluid cable banjo or if it doesn't matter.

I've tried and I can put the purge bolt and the banjo in both holes as they have the same size, but I don't know if this can affect the braking.

Hope someone solves me this question. Thanks for your time and for your help.

The caliper I have is not a bolt one caliper and it has to be mounted with a bracket.

Regards.
