Right Side Caliper
 

I'm building a quad bike and need hydraulic brake calipers on all four wheels. I have a Shimano BR-MT200 which fits on the left side but can't seem to find a matching right side caliper. The design doesn't allow upside down mounting, otherwise I could flip it over. Matching left and right calipers is the goal.

Shimano BR-MT200 Hydraulic Caliper (Left side mount)

is the hose routing stopping the "upside down" mounting? there would be other reason to not mount the caliper inverted, other than needing to sort out mounting bracket issues...

a short, J shaped, custom-bent/flared metal tube using the correct fittings will solve the hose routing issue, i'd think.. tube bender guides and flaring tools are easily obtained.

Bleeding the caliper would require removing it from the bike and suspending it, bleeder-up... Heck, that works better anyways!

I don't know of ANY brakes that go on the we right.

So you need to work upside down. One of the benefits of hydraulics vs. cable is that routing doesn't matter.

Go to a hobby shop and buy a short length of steel tubing that your hydraulic line fits into.

Slide it through near one end, then use a small tube bender to make a U-bend, and the rest is easy.

How about trikes? they must have nrakes on both fromt wheels?

On the right hand side, brakes can be mounted on the front.....

I looked into trikes and some manufacturers use "mirrored" calipers that mount vertically on both sides. Now, if I can find a set of hydraulic ones. Also need truly floating 160mm discs that can accommodate +/-0.5mm axial play.

Hey, you want what you want. That's cool. Sturmey-Archer offers L and R front drum brakes for trikes and quads.

More good info. Thanks for the pix and leads. Looks like a few bikes do have the disc brakes on the right. Now if I can get matching left side calipers. I did find "mirrored" hydraulic calipers from Tektro although so far I haven't been able to find them without the lever master cylinders for around $300/pair. My quad needs two pairs.
