Default WTB Right Front J55 Caliper

Appearance and condition unimportant so long as it has not been raced on a road course.

Let me see what I have in the shed tomorrow.
Why "not been raced on a road course"?
Just wondering.

The failure mode for these calipers is weakening of the Aluminum and pertmanent yielding due to heat; the dreaded caliper spread. See post 93 below on what a pad looks like after this happens. If they have been raced, they are either junk or have lost a lot of their strength.
