Default Spoon calipers... Questions and Pics

Ok first a few questions:
1) Which way do these suckers mount? Does the cross over tube go on the top or the bottom? There are no marks on them to tell me which goes on which side.

2) How do I bleed these? There are 2 nipple bleeders. Do I bleed the outside first then the inside, or the other way. Or do i bleed both sides at the same time.

3) Anybody takes these apart? I want to get them anodized (or powder coated) black and I was wonder how hard they are to take a part. If nobody had done it, I'm going to try and i'll post pics.

Now for the pictures:

1. Tube on the bottom. Bleed screws on the top. Air will make it's way to the top... then out of the screws.

2. Either nipple will be fine to start with.

3. Once they are apart... they may leak.

It seems that you can cover up the bolts and lines and high-temp spray paint it.

Here's a pic (if it works) of N1CIVIC's car... you might be able to see which way it mounts if you squint hard enough. haha.

The calipers are anodized now. I dont think paint will stick to well to them. Besides, I'd like to do the job correct now and not have to worry about them later (paint chipping off, etc...).

I might split one of them tonight just to see what else is involved.

You got the 1st question right. Your second answer is WAY off (if you meant EK as in type-R) spoiler.

I meant EK as in a spoiler made for an EK, which it appears to be.

I don't think it's feasible at all to disassemble the spoon calipers and pc them black. why not just leave them with their ricey finish?

Yes its an S2000 guage cluster, yes its very difficult to wire up, yes my speedo still dosent work. No, my wing and chin spoiler (which you cant see very well) are J's Racing. Thanks for the props, sorry for not talking about Spoon calipers
