Raybestos has announced the addition of new dual bleeder part numbers, expanding its Element3 brake caliper line.

According to the company, the new part numbers offers coverage for many vehicles-in-operation (VIO) applications, including the Ford 150 and Honda Civic.

“The Element3 caliper additions are known as dual bleeder part numbers because they fit both the left and the right sides, so there’s only one caliper part number, instead of two,” says Kristin Grons, Marketing Manager for Brake Parts Inc (BPI). “This innovative feature was developed through a joint effort between the Raybestos planning and product departments. Our customers benefit because they no longer need to stock two different part numbers—just one part number for the axle—allowing for easier inventory management.”

Raybestos explains in a release that its Element3 brake calipers is designed to provide hassle-free installation and optimal performance, especially since they are made of 100 percent new components and have no core return and lower warranty rates. The company has designed and manufactured the ultra-premium calipers in conformation of its strict engineering specifications and safety requirements. According to Raybestos, they have been engineered to match original-equipment precision and are available at a fraction of the cost of OE products. For enhanced corrosion prevention, the calipers feature aluminum or zinc-plated castings. The castings additionally meet the test standards of ASTM B117) 96-hour salt spray corrosion resistance.

Raybestos suggests that this product line is suitable for use for high VIO and problem applications, even plated brackets, where needed.
