The single steel piston measures 45 mm in diameter, providing consistent braking pressure. A mounting bracket and caliper slides are included to ensure proper alignment and secure attachment to the vehicle’s suspension system. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with an M10-1.5 thread size for compatibility with factory brake lines.
