Description an
d Operation

The brake disc is mounted on the wheel studs and is clamped between the wheel and hub. Cooling ducts run through the
center of the brake disc to provide the required ventilation to keep the disc cool under operating conditions.
The caliper carrier, which is se cured to the hub carrier by two bolts, carries the single-piston caliper housing. The caliper
housing is secured to the caliper carrier by two guide-pins and an anti-rattle spring. When the brakes are applied the
caliper-housing piston pushes th e brake pad in front of it, towards the brake di sc. This movement forces the caliper housing
to move along the guide-pins, in the oppo site direction of the piston, to apply the second brake pad. The brake disc is
therefore gripped between the two pads. As brake pressure is increased the grip on the brake disc is increased to slow-down
the rotation of the road wheel.
The disc brakes requ ire no adjustment.
