What is the purpose of the silver zinc coating on this caliper?

The silver zinc coating on this DFC brake caliper helps to protect the metal from rust and corrosion. This is important for maintaining the caliper's integrity and appearance, especially since it's exposed to road salt and moisture.

Does this caliper come with brake pads or mounting hardware?

This DFC brake caliper is sold individually and does not include brake pads or mounting hardware. You will need to purchase those separately to complete your brake job.

Is this caliper a direct bolt-on replacement?

Yes, this caliper is designed to be a direct replacement for the original equipment caliper on the specified American Motors and Jeep vehicles. This means it should fit without requiring modifications.

Product Details

This is a DFC Premium Front Brake Caliper, specifically designed for a range of American Motors and Jeep vehicles from the late 70s and early 80s. If you're working on a classic like an American Motors Gremlin, Concord, or a Jeep CJ7, this caliper is built to restore your braking system to proper working order. It's a direct replacement for the original part, meaning it bolts right up where the old one came off, making your brake job a bit smoother.

The caliper is finished with a silver zinc coating. This isn't just for looks; it helps protect the metal from rust and corrosion, which is especially important for a part that's constantly exposed to the elements and road grime. This well-built caliper houses the brake pads and uses hydraulic pressure to clamp them onto the rotor, slowing your vehicle down effectively. Having a solid caliper is key to consistent braking performance and ensuring your vehicle stops when you need it to.
