Front Disc Brake - VIN Range: G00442->G45703Vehicles without Brembo brakes
For vehicles without Brembo brakes, the brake system consists of the following components:
^ Brake pads
^ Double piston, floating calipers
^ Brake discs
^ Brake caliper anchor plates
^ Steel braided brake hoses
The brake caliper has two retaining bolts that attach the brake caliper to the anchor plate. These are of double, sliding piston type which makes sure equal effort is applied through both brake pads. The anchor plate is attached to the wheel knuckle with two bolts. The hydraulic system provides separate circuits for each pair of diagonally opposed wheels (i.e. left front, right rear and right front, left rear).
The brake disc is manufactured from cast iron and is of the vented type. It is retained on the hub by two retaining clips and the wheel studs.
