2. GM 10.5-inch 14-bolt differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_10.5-inch_14-bolt...

   Full-size GM vans continued featuring drum brakes for several more years, transitioning entirely to disc brakes by 2003. [5] The original design of the braking system within the 14-bolt differentials accommodated diverse wheel sizes, initially fitting drums suitable for 15-inch wheels and later adapting to cater to the needs of 3/4-ton and 1 ...

3. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

   The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [ further explanation needed ] friction. [ 3 ]

5. Mountainboarding - Wikipedia

   Hydraulic Disc Brakes Hydraulic Disc Brakes use rotors attached to the hubs with hydraulically operated brake mechanisms that force ceramic pads against the rotors to effect braking. Advantages include high braking power and reliability. Disadvantages include cost, vulnerability of the discs, heat build up, and weight. Hydraulic Rim Brakes

6. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

   The standard tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, while the car can be had with extra-grippy [citation needed] Michelin Cup 2R (still street legal), with both coming in a 295/30 ZR21 size for the front axle and in a 315/30 ZR22 size for the rear axle. The front brakes use 410 mm (16.1 inches) ventilated ceramic rotors with 6-piston calipers ...
