The internal crossover is mainly a reliability and durability feature. Here is a detail pic of the "castleated" thin wall stainless steel pistons, and the SS pad abutments. The pistons are cut this way to reduce heat transfer into the fluid. [IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/gshoffman/Brakes/DSC_0132.jpg[/IMG] |
