Wilwood Powerlite Brake Caliper Radial Mount 0.5" rota for Solid Discs (Each)
CALIPER HIGHLIGHTS
Wilwood's powerlite is a smaller 4-pot caliper specifically designed to suit lightweight and small Formula type racers (maximum vehicle weight 750Kg). Produced by the drop forging process to ensure a stiff low deflection body but at a lighter weight - approximately 2lbs (1kg).
The Powerlite caliper features the Wilwood Squeal Reduction System (SRS) eliminating bridge wear caused by pad gouging and reducing the annoying '4-pot squeal'. Also incorporating the now well proven fast pad change clip (patent under consideration).
The Powerlite accepts disc diameters from 240mm to 285mm and 2 disc thickness, solid (9-13mm) or vented (20-22mm). Piston diameters 1.00", 1.25" or 1.38", making this a useful caliper as either a front caliper on small vehicles or a rear caliper on mid range vehicles. The generous pad area should avoid premature wear or pad overheating problems associated with some O/E 2-piston calipers.
Dust seals are not fitted to this caliper, most owners of this type of vehicle usually have a high attention to cleanliness and the additional weight/complexity of dust seals did not seem appropriate - if dust seals are required, then please use the Midilite caliper.
