The backing plates only bolt on one way. The cylinders should be on the
bottom. I don't think it is possible to assemble is with the cylinders on top.

Subject: Upside Down Brake Assembly?
Hi List,
I've read that the rear brakes can be a pain to bleed, and I agree. However, on
my car, the brake cylinders are located on the BOTTOM of the backing plates and
consequently, the bleed screws are on the lowest part of the cylinder. Every
diagram and manual that I've looked at shows the cylinder located at the top
and the adjuster at the bottom. My '67-1600 has always had cylinders at the
bottom. Is it possible the whole assembly is upside down?
