Actually, since the cylinder has the notch in one side to allow for the
pinch bolt, I doubt if it is actually mounted "upside down". More likely,
the pipe and bleeder screw have been inadvertantly reversed. True enough
though, I wouldn't be too concerned at the moment, but would certainly
switch back at the next opportunity.
