upside down? is that because toilet drains opposite direction south of the equator? Just a guess...I mean what's going on?
The part belongs on the other side?

Yes, it is possible. I've done it!
Problem fixed. The brake shop that did the refurb' stamps the parts L with L and R with R and then puts them back together the way they found them, so they can't be blamed. Sometime, somewhere, somebody did the wrong thing.
This is the best part of all this car stuff- figuring out the mess and fixing it.
Nice work!

Wow, who is that Arde from Cupertino that figured out the answer right away?
There once was a fulvia from Cupertino....
After what you went through you are an expert brake detective!

I haven't sawed a caliper in half but remember clutch slave cylinders whose bleed screws pointed "the wrong way" until someone sawed one lengthwise and revealed that the bleed passage, in that position, went where it needed to and the orientation of the bleed screw was of no importance.
