Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron housing finished with a rust preventative coating to extend service life. The dual phenolic pistons, each measuring 60mm (2 inches) in diameter, provide reliable hydraulic pressure transfer while resisting heat and corrosion. The caliper includes caliper slides and a mounting bracket (cast number 130321) to ensure proper alignment and fitment. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with a 3/8-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. Bleeder screw (3/8-24 x 1) is included to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during installation. Dust boots and brake pad hardware are also supplied to maintain component integrity and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or leaking brake calipers causing brake fluid loss
• Restores proper brake piston movement and pressure for consistent braking
• Addresses caliper corrosion or damage from road debris and environmental exposure
• Resolves brake drag or uneven pad wear due to faulty caliper slides or pistons
• Improves brake system reliability on vehicles requiring 60mm dual piston calipers

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with vehicle make and model before installation
• Use the included bleeder screw to properly bleed air from the brake system
• Inspect brake lines and banjo bolt fittings for wear or damage during installation
• Apply brake grease to caliper slides and hardware to prevent noise and ensure smooth operation
