Whats the difference between radial and axial?
Whenever I do searches for brakes and such i keep seeing Radial mount and axial mount in reference to calipers....I havnt been able to find out the difference. Just a major curiosity for me.
Thanks Jon |

top axial mount -2 piece caliper -964's -caliper 'lugs' bottom left radial mount 2 piece -993's -note radial but 4 bolts bottom right radial mount mono blocks 996's - no bolts hlding them together the idea of using radial mounts, is if you have stock lugs , you can easily get to the radial caliper, using a 90 degree adaptor -also the disc position isn't a factor -ie you use a hub and disc on a spindle, andyou can make the caliper fit by modifying the adaptor, in the in and out plane, use ful if for example you have a 964 disc, with an overall height of 80mm from hub face to edge of disc -and you then fit a disc with a 'hat' or total depth of 76mm -you can simply minus the 4 mm on the radial mount adaptor |

Hi
Stock VW calpiers use axial mounts, so the bolt is in line with the cars axle. Radial bolt callipers are used on late Porsche callipers, think of them like a radial engine with pistons surrounding a crankcase. Steve
