Hey matti, ive tried a few different way. To post them. I’m going to reassemble it this afternoon and take a couple pictures figure it out tonight. Thank you for making them visibleSomething is still weird with the way your images are posted, Boss. It may have to do with the size of the image. I can't see em in the thread on my side. Had to open a new window, so I downloaded em to repost them myself, and they're still weird. Then, I cropped em and resaved using my phone (much less megabytes), here they are without issue View attachment 280365View attachment 280366

I'm not a brake expert, but yes you can. Works best if you use the front fork brake (longer bolt) on top. Remove the bolt from the other brake, slide it on the lower empty mounting bolt side. This mounting will want to rotate with the wheel. To fix that issue, mount two small "L" brackets, one on each side bolted under the brake pad bolts. These push against the upper wheel frame stays and keep the whole assembly from rotating.Who the brake expert. I’d like to do a duel rear brake. Can I take apart the one caliper and slide it over the one already installed. It has a long enough bolt but I think the spring retention piece is pressed or made as part of the long screw.View attachment 281678
On some brake brands, you can remove the spring retainer from the mounting bolt. There are also different diameter mounting bolts, need to match them.The part that retains the spring is part of the bolt, but maybe you can just use a washer or two and let the spring just sit there with no retainer. The spring tension may hold it in place well enough.

Sounds like a good plan. The bolt to drill out might be hardened and tough to drill. I'd see if I could hammer the bolt free from the spring retainer.Im wondering if I can cut the caliper bolt. Drill out the spring retainer and use it on the long bolt and re assemble the caliper arms?
Once I disassemble the caliper I’ll have better view if it’s machines as part of the bolt or pressed. It looks like it’s all one piece.Sounds like a good plan. The bolt to drill out might be hardened and tough to drill. I'd see if I could hammer the bolt free from the spring retainer.
