RE: [DMCForum] brake caliper placement

They are placed so the bleed valve is upright, as well as accounting for the
torsional forces on the mounts.

So, does anyone know how the engineers choose the mounting location for
the calipers?  Is it just a space or hardware (i.e. "this spot provides
the most structural integrity to hold the caliper to the knuckle")
consideration?  Looks?  Aynone know?
