Technical Specifications and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body for strength and heat resistance. The single phenolic piston, measuring 66 mm in diameter, reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain braking efficiency. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with a 3/8"-24 thread size for proper brake system bleeding. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads, although the pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.
