Abstract:
A brake caliper housing having: an inner body having one or more inner piston bores open toward a rotor gap; an outer body having: one or more outer piston bores open toward the rotor gap, a bridge structure which extends over the rotor gap, and a plurality of reinforcing structures included in the bridge structure; wherein a longitudinal plane passes through both the inner body and the outer body; wherein the plurality of reinforcing structures extend at an angle away from the longitudinal plane as the plurality of reinforcing structures extend from an exterior surface of the outer body over the rotor gap; and wherein one or more bridge fasteners parallel to the longitudinal plane secure the bridge structure to the inner body so that the bridge structure connects the outer body to the inner body.
