Disc Brakes - Single Piston

NOTE: Ford Motor Co. models use Bendix, Kelsey-Hayes and Teves disc brake calipers.

The disc brake assembly consists of a rotor, a single-piston caliper, 2 shoe and lining assemblies, a splash shield and an anchor plate. The cast iron rotor has cooling fins between the 2 braking surfaces. Brake linings rivet to the brake shoes and insulator gaskets bond to the back of each brake shoe.

All models use a sliding caliper that slides on 2 locating pins. Locating pins on Ford Motor Co. models attach caliper and combination anchor plate and spindle.
