   ok so got some new rear calipers because the ones on the car have snapped bleed nipples
   
   any way was looking at them and just realised they are difforent ?
   
   so will they fit fine, or am i going to have to mess around with brake hoses ? (note the diff is the hand brake arm)
   
   old
   
   
   new
   
   
   thanks

   Really cannot tell from the pic, if they mount alright and go over the disc fine then they will probably be fine.
