Neil,

I don't know anything about Manny's system, but on the original Chuck Aulgur reaction arm system I got from Jim K, the calipers are 90 degrees to the frame, (http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/disc-brakes-2fchuck-aulgur-reaction-arm-install/p40119-right-mid.html) putting the bleeder a little down from the top. Like the others have stated, you will need to tip the calipers at an angle so that the bleeder is at the very top. Take a look at your front calipers and use them as an example of the angle, (http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/disc-brakes-2fchuck-aulgur-reaction-arm-install/p40121-right-front.html)

I had no problems with the installation of Jim K's system, although getting them bled was a bit of a chore. I have FANTASTIC brakes. Better than most sports cars.
