Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, providing a robust and heat-resistant housing suitable for demanding braking conditions.

Included caliper slides and dust boots help maintain smooth operation and protect internal components from contaminants. The caliper bracket is included to ensure proper fitment, though bracket mounting bolts are not part of the package. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt type connection, compatible with standard brake lines.
