The 24787 replaces heavy, old-style clamp-on brackets. By utilizing a splined interface, the carrier is mechanically locked into the axle's rotation, preventing the caliper from shifting or twisting under heavy braking loads. This ensures the brake pads remain perfectly parallel to the rotor, providing the driver with a firm, predictable pedal feel lap after lap.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. Precision Splined Interface
-
1.5" Precision Bore: Broached to exact tolerances to match industry-standard 1.5" splined axles. The splined design prevents the bracket from spinning on the axle, even in the event of a mechanical failure or high-impact scenario.
-
Easy Lateral Tuning: The carrier can be slid along the splines to achieve perfect alignment with the brake rotor before being locked into position, allowing for easy setup on various chassis widths.
-
Axle Protection: The splined design distributes the clamping and braking forces evenly, preventing the "burring" or scarring often caused by set-screws on non-splined axles.
2. Billet Aluminum Construction
-
6061-T6 Strength: CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Reducing weight on the rear axle improves the car's ability to accelerate and handle rough track conditions.
-
Black Anodized Finish: The hard-anodized coating protects the aluminum from the corrosive effects of brake fluid, mud, and harsh cleaning chemicals.
-
Rigid Caliper Mounting: Engineered to resist deflection. If a caliper bracket flexes, the brakes feel "spongy"; the 24787 remains rigid to ensure every ounce of hydraulic pressure is converted into stopping power.
3. Professional Fit & Function
-
Standard Caliper Pattern: Designed to accommodate the most common lightweight calipers used in the Junior Sprint class.
-
Slim Profile: The compact design ensures maximum clearance from the seat, fuel cell, or chassis bracing in the tight confines of a small-displacement racer.
