Discs Brakes - Single Piston

The disc brake assembly consists of a rotor, single piston caliper assembly, two shoe and lining assemblies, a splash shield and an anchor plate.

All Ford Motor Co. models use a pin slider type caliper assembly. On this system the caliper slides on two locating pins which also act as attaching bolts between caliper and combination anchor plate and spindle. Continental models have single piston calipers at all 4 wheels.

The cast iron rotor has integrally cast cooling fins between the two braking surfaces. Brake linings are riveted to the brake shoes and insulator gaskets are bonded to the back of each brake shoe.
