Brake Calipers

When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the caliper, the pistons extend to force the inner pad against the brake disc. The caliper reacts and slides along two guide pins to bring the outer pad into contact with the brake disc.



Each caliper is mounted within a fixed carrier that is secured to the front wheel knuckle with two bolts. The inboard brake pad of the LH (left-hand) brake incorporates a wear sensor.

Each outboard brake pad is installed with a pressed steel anti-rattle spring. On SC (supercharger) vehicles, a badge with the 'R' symbol is formed on the anti-rattle spring.
