About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with original equipment specifications. The 141.61047 caliper is part of this line, offering a balance between ready-to-install convenience and customization for specific brake pad choices.

Technical Details and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a single 66 mm diameter phenolic piston, which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, improving overall braking reliability. The caliper is constructed from cast iron, providing structural integrity and resistance to wear. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.5 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines on the specified vehicle models. The included bleeder screw (3/8"-24 thread) facilitates proper brake system bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to ensure proper pad alignment and reduce noise.
