The caliper bracket are the components connecting the modified caliper to the vehicle. Each set of caliper bracket is customized according to the model, caliper model and disc data. Therefore, if you want the whole set of brakes to be perfectly installed in the wheel, the data requirements for the caliper support need to be very accurate.

Material classification

Jekit's caliper's bracket are mainly made of the following materials: aluminum alloy 6061-T6, aluminum alloy t-7075 and 45 steel.

Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of high strength, light weight and good heat dissipation. For the braking system, aluminum alloy has great advantages, so aluminum alloy is used in most cases.
6061-T6: aluminum alloy element accounts for 97.9%, magnesium element accounts for 1%, silicon element accounts for 0.6%, and 0.28% copper and 0.2% chromium are added.
T-7075: the main aluminum and zinc metal elements account for 90% and 5.6% respectively, while magnesium accounts for 2.5%, copper accounts for 1.6%, chromium accounts for 0.23%, and finally the rest are silicon, manganese, titanium and other metal elements.
Generally speaking, the strength of 7075 aluminum alloy is higher than that of 6061 aluminum alloy, which is mainly because the content of aluminum alloy in 7075 aluminum alloy is nearly 8% less than that in 6061.
45 steel is generally applied to supports with limited data. (for example, there are few threads and the length is short. The whole strength needs to be guaranteed, which can not be achieved by aluminum alloy)

What are the tips for brake pad alarms

1.Tips of trip computer:

A red word "please check the brake pad" will appear in the general alarm. Then there is an icon, which is a circle surrounded by dotted brackets. Generally, the display indicates that it is close to the limit and needs to be replaced immediately.

2. Warning of brake pad:

In some old vehicles, the brake pads are not connected to the driving computer, but a small iron plate for alarm is installed on the brake pads. When the friction material is worn away quickly, the brake disc will not wear the brake pad, but the small iron plate for alarm. At this time, the vehicle will make a harsh "chirp" sound of friction between metals, which is the signal to replace the brake pads.

3.Simple daily self inspection methods:

Check whether the brake pad and brake disc are thin. You can use a small flashlight for observation and inspection. When it is found that the black friction material of the brake pad is rapidly worn out and the thickness is less than 5mm, it should be considered to replace it.

4. Car feel:

Experienced drivers may feel that the brakes are soft when the brake pads are not available. This depends on the driver's feeling of driving for many years.

New brake pad run-in instructions

Note: After the replacement of brake brake pad, if the brake feels soft, Be sure to use the brakes a few times to clear the gap between the brake pads and the disc.Need to run 800-1200 km to achieve better braking effect..Try to run in where the road is good and there are fewer cars,and repeat at least 10 braking cycles.(As shown above)
