Forged Powerlite Caliper

CALIPER HIGHLIGHTS
Wilwood's powerlite is a smaller 4-pot caliper specifically designed to suit lightweight and small Formula type racers (maximum vehicle weight 750Kg). Produced by the drop forging process to ensure a stiff low deflection body but at a lighter weight - approximately 2lbs (1kg).

The Powerlite caliper features the Wilwood Squeal Reduction System (SRS) eliminating bridge wear caused by pad gouging and reducing the annoying '4-pot squeal'. Also incorporating the now well proven fast pad change clip (patent under consideration).

The Powerlite accepts disc diameters from 240mm to 285mm and 2 disc thickness, solid (9-13mm) or vented (20-22mm). Piston diameters 1.00", 1.25" or 1.38", making this a useful caliper as either a front caliper on small vehicles or a rear caliper on mid range vehicles. The generous pad area should avoid premature wear or pad overheating problems associated with some O/E 2-piston calipers.

Dust seals are not fitted to this caliper, most owners of this type of vehicle usually have a high attention to cleanliness and the additional weight/complexity of dust seals did not seem appropriate - if dust seals are required, then please use the Midilite caliper.

A wide range of pad components are available to suit road, race and off road applications, which will be extended considerably by the early 2005 release date.

We believe that this inexpensive caliper which will be stocked in 100's of units by Rally Design will prove a very useful addition to the range.

Note: Please select caliper part number and caliper finish from the drop down below.

Type  III Mil-Spec  hard  anodizing  replaces  Type  II  black  anodizing  as  the  standard  finish  on  all  base  and  powder  coat finish  caliper  models.  This  process  produces  a  thicker,  harder  surface  with  a  rich,  medium-gray  appearance.  More importantly,  it  creates  a  more  durable  wear  surface  in  the  piston  bores,  with  increased  resistance  to  abrasion  and corrosion over the entire external surface of the caliper.
