silly question
 

can someone tell me what 'pot' refers to when talking brakes please ...

ie 4pot 6pot etc

newbie ere:)

Pots or pistons they push the brake pad against the disk. Genarally speaking the more pots the better the brakes.

The POT means the piston which is in the caliper a 4 pot caliper has two either side. A 6 pot has three either side.
The pots are in contact with the back off the pads which then pushes the pads on the discs:)
Not a very good description but I hope you understand!!

thanks :thumb: :thumb:
