Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body known for strength and heat resistance. The floating caliper type uses a single steel piston with a 54mm diameter, providing effective clamping force on the brake pads. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10mm M10x1.0 thread diameter, facilitating flexible brake line connections. The included bleeder screw with M8x1.0 thread size allows for proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads, although pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly torque inlet fittings and bleeder screws to manufacturer specifications. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance. The included abutment clips should be installed to maintain pad alignment and reduce noise.
