Abstract
If cylinder bores formed in a caliper parallel to each other are communicated together through a pipe casted in the caliper, the pipe tends to come out of the caliper into a cylinder bore. A separate short pipe is provided to communicate the cylinder bores. The pipe has an engaging portion so as to extend in a diametric direction of the short pipe to prevent longitudinal shift of the short pipe. The engaging portions can be provided easily by forming a recess or a protrusion on the outer periphery of the pipe and casting the pipe in the caliper.
