Abstract
The present specification provides a caliper for use in a disc brake. The caliper has at least two body sections which are clamped together by one or more bolts, each bolt having a bore extending axially therethrough, the bores acting as pin guides for the pins secured to the torque taking member, in the complete brake. Thus only a pair of holes are required to be formed in the caliper body sections, improving the strength and rigidity of the caliper and keeping manufacturing costs to a minimum.
