The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 7/16"-20 thread diameter, and the bleeder screw thread size is 3/8"-24, included for proper brake fluid bleeding. The caliper’s gray finish provides corrosion resistance, while the included abutment clips ensure proper pad alignment. Note that brake pads, mounting hardware, and brackets are not included, so these components must be sourced separately.
