BRAKES
The calipers of the front disc brakes are of the
single cylinder, floating type; in fact they are free
to move axially assuring the constant alignment of
linings to the brake disc.
Moreover. a special device takes up automatic-
ally the lining wear so that the clearance between
the disc and linings is kept on a steady level at
all
times.
NOTE - Calipers are marked in production with a
daub of black paint to avoid that they may be
exchanged in error with similar calipers of other
Models.
