Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper features a single 2.008-inch (51 mm) phenolic piston designed to minimize heat transfer to the brake fluid, reducing the risk of vapor lock. The caliper is a floating type, which allows for self-adjustment during braking and is mounted in the trailing position on the axle. The cast iron construction provides strength and resistance to wear. The caliper includes brake pads meeting Friction Materials Standards Institute pad number 10x.10120, and a bleeder screw with M10-1.00 thread size is included for proper brake system maintenance. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 3/8"-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. Mounting hardware and brackets are not included, so existing components must be reused or sourced separately.
