Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as bleeder screws and abutment clips, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while maintaining high manufacturing standards. The 141.50201 caliper fits within this line, providing a balance between ready-to-install convenience and customization for specific brake system setups.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single 48mm steel piston, providing effective clamping force for the Ford Festiva's braking system. The caliper body is made from cast iron, offering durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. It includes a bleeder screw with an M8x1.0 thread size to facilitate proper brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10mm (M10x1.0) thread diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads properly, although pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly. The gray finish helps protect against corrosion and wear.
