errr OK. they don't look it in the pics but I'll take your word for it.
would be interesting to measure and know the difference.

really? I just looked at a 1/2 dozen pics of CTS-V calipers online and can't
see any part of the casting that isn't symettrical and just like the porsche
brakes where you can swap the crossover pipe for the bleeders in 5 minutes.
it even has the little recess on the other side that 'cradles' the tube.  in
fact most calipers are made symmetrical like that so that they have the same
castings for left and right and the only difference is tube/bleeder on
top/bottom

(this is also why the side-to-side swap or bleeder-move is often and
either/or - aka you can either swap the calipers left for right or you can
move the bleeders/crossover)

if you say so I believe you but it sure don't look it.

> Initial bleeding is done just before the final mount by
> holding the caliper in bleeders up position. I did it alone

again OK if you say so. but even if you can do that and get a good bleed and
not stress the lines in doing so, that would be a non-starter for me, for
maintance hassle reasons if nothing else.
