Detailed Product Description

This Nugeon disc brake caliper (part number 97P17263B) is constructed from cast iron, offering strength and heat resistance necessary for effective braking. The caliper features a single steel piston with a 74 mm diameter, designed to apply consistent pressure to the brake pads. It comes with a bleeder screw (M10-1.5 x 29.5 mm) to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The caliper’s inlet port uses a banjo bolt fitting with an M10-1.5 thread, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines. Dust boots are included to protect internal components from contaminants, while the grey rust preventative finish helps resist corrosion over time. This caliper does not include anti-squeal shims, brackets, or brake pads, so those components must be sourced separately.
