Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured disc brake caliper from BBB Industries is engineered with a durable cast iron housing featuring rust preventative coating to extend service life. The caliper uses a phenolic piston measuring 66 mm (3 inches) in diameter, which helps reduce heat transfer and corrosion inside the piston bore. The inlet fitting type is a banjo bolt with M10-1.25 thread size, ensuring proper hydraulic connection. Included hardware consists of brake pad installation components, a banjo bolt, and copper crush washers to facilitate a secure and leak-free installation. The caliper also comes with a bleeder screw (3/8-24 x 1 inch) and dust boots to maintain system integrity and prevent contamination. This caliper does not include brake pads, anti-squeal shims, or mounting brackets, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
