The caliper casting is made from cast iron, a material known for its strength and heat resistance, which is essential for consistent braking performance. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, simplifying the installation process while allowing for friction material to be added separately. The piston diameter measures 2.000 inches (50.8 mm), which is critical for proper brake pad engagement and hydraulic pressure distribution. Additionally, the bleeder screw thread size of M7x1 ensures compatibility with standard brake bleeding tools and procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raybestos R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured series focuses on providing remanufactured brake calipers that are ready to accept friction material, offering a balance between quality and value.
