Vehicles with standard brakes (Part 2):

For vehicles with standard brakes, the brake system consists of these components:
^ Brake pads
^ Single 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 single, sliding piston type. 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.
