	Brake assembly patent invention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This allows for the brake caliper to move slightly inboard when the brake is applied to allow the running clearance between the brake disc and the outboard brake pad to be closed so as to frictionally engage the outboard brake pad with the brake disc.
		The first brake pad is fitted in the first side portion of the caliper, with the pad formation of the first brake pad engaging a caliper formation of the first side portion of the caliper to transfer braking torque loads from the first brake pad to the first side portion of the caliper.
		The second brake pad is fitted in the second side portion of the caliper with the first and second circumferential ends of the second brake pad engaging respective first and second circumferentially spaced abutments of the brake assembly to transfer braking torque loads from the second brake pad to the brake assembly.

		A drum brake is a brake in which the friction is caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against the inner surface of a rotating drum.
		Drum brakes with internal shoes have a particular disadvantage; when the drums are heated by hard braking the diameter of the drum increases due to the expansion of the material and the brakes must be further depressed to obtain effective braking action.
		A muzzle brake is a device that is affixed to the muzzle of a firearm, and which redirects propellant gases to either counter the recoil of the gun, or to prevent the muzzle from climbing during rapid fire.

	Inboard brake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An inboard braking system is an automobile technology where the brakes are not located in the wheels, as is common today, but instead near the differential.
		Moving the brakes inboard reduces unsprung weight substantially, improving ride, handling and braking.
		The Hummer H1 is one of the few modern vehicles fitted with inboard brakes, although this addition was ostensibly to accommodate the Hummer's unusual gear-drive system used at each wheel.

		A fundamental investigation into the mechanisms for dither suppression of brake squeal and significant theoretical and modeling activities are being used to develop an improved comprehension of the dynamics involved.
		The use of dither control for the suppression of automotive disc brake squeal suppresssion is experimentally investigated using a brake dynamometer.
		This allows the dither signal to be applied directly to the inboard brake pad (as shown in the picture on the left).

		The parking brake ridge may be keeping the rotor from coming off, but you should still be able to wiggle the rotor around.
		The brake pads will stay with the caliper mounting bracket, this is OK. Rest the caliper on something, or hang it from the frame with a length of wire.
		Be sure the cap is off the underhood brake reservoir, and the bleeder valve is open and is ready to squirt into the drip pan (you may want to attach a drain tube to the valve).

	WINGED WARRIORS/NATIONAL B-BODY - Kelsey Hayes Style Caliper repair
		If you notice excessive pulling to one side when you apply the brakes or if the front brakes seem to overheat and you suspect they are not releasing, chances are one of the calipers has a frozen piston.
		Brake fluid leaking around the caliper is a good indication the seals are shot.
		The brake pads available now are made out of superior materials and have wear indicators so you can tell when they're about shot before they grind away your rotors.

		Front brakes on this car are very easy to work on and require a minimum of tools, the only tools that you may need that you may not have are a four to six inch c-clamp and about four feet of rubber vacuum hose (for bleeding the brakes, more on that later).
		This should push the brake pads flat against the rotors (verify that they are both flat against the rotor and that they have not slipped out of place), the brakes should feel solid and not squishy, if they are still squishy, check for leaks, fix them then bleed the brakes again.
		As brake wear occurs at the rear brakes it will take a longer pull on the lever to activate the parking brake, eventually the brakes will wear to the point where the parking brake is almost useless.

	Jaguar E-Type and XJ Inboard Brake Upgrade
		The inboard brakes surround the output shafts, and the brake rotors are bolted to them.
		Since the inboard side friction surface is thus well lubricated, it provides almost no braking action, and all braking from the rear has to come from the outboard side of each rotor.
		Owners having performed this upgrade have reported the brakes seem to work better when cold (there would be no change if oil on the friction surfaces wasn't an issue), and there is evidence that cars with vented rotors do not demonstrate the unequal brake pad wear that is so common on cars with solid rotors.

		I've been told it's somewhat normal, shouldn't happen, the brakes are self-destructing, and recently you wrote that it's a sign the brakes are OK but might soon need to be replaced.
		Brake pads are allowed to float slightly within the caliper's grasp, to allow uniform rotor contact, although movement is regulated by springy clips or isolator pads.
		The inboard brake pad might wear at a greater rate, so it's best to sneak an inspection mirror into position to view it as well.

		The brake pad warning light is designed to come on when the front brakes wear down to about 25% left on the pads.
		The brake pad warning light circuit is a ground path loop.
		The brake pad wear circuit starts from the back of the instrument cluster (pin 25 on red 26 pin connector), through the firewall somewhere, to T3g, pin 1 (3 pin connector back left of engine compartment) to N13, which is the brake pad wear indicator, left.

		Such rotors are an established technology, and are a workable method of upgrading the XJ rear brakes to vented rotors.
		In this next picture, a differential output shaft flange shim C33440 was placed on the inboard side of the rotor assembly to illustrate the clearance.
		The holes provide access to the two bolts that hold the brake calipers to the Dana differential, and are invaluable for removing the OEM one-piece rotor -- but they're merely a nicety on the two-piece rotor, since you can separate the disc from the hub to gain access to the bolts.

	Indy Project Sled - Liquid-Cooled Brake Kit - Snowmobile at Off-Road.com
		It consists of a small, hollow aluminum channel that fits in the caliper behind the inboard brake pad through which engine coolant flows and all necessary hoses and clamps.
		The liquid-cooled brake kit is cheap and easy to put on, so if you are going to have the jackshaft off for some other reason, it's a nice little add-on to throw in at the same time.
		Separate all the pieces and reassemble using the new, wider bracket and insert the coolant channel between the caliper and the inboard pad.

	WC Engineering : Lotus Esprit : Brake Upgrade Kits
		These front brake upgrade kits are for the 1989-1994 Esprit that was originally equipped with the TMC (Toyota Motor Company) front brakes and Girling rears.
		The rear calipers are the same that were used on the inboard Citron transaxle equipped cars with different bracketry and parking brake cables, along with 258mm solid disks.
		After purchasing a brake upgrade kit for the Celica and trying to adapt it, then three different kits for the Esprit, and being disappointed with all of them, WC Engineering went into development of its own brake kits.

	Coventry West, Inc. - Jaguar - Technical Tips - Inboard Rear Brake Insights (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		On an inboard brake Jaguar, it is always better to toss rear pads with a bit of lining left than to replace one's rear rotors.
		Additionally, rear brake pad replacement, and the requirement to push the caliper pistons back to allow insertion of the thicker new pads, will frequently cause brake fluid leaks to occur even if the calipers were sealing before.
		Because most disc brake system do not have positive pad retraction mechanisms to pull the pads away from the rotors after brake applications, this can cause the brakes pads to drag lightly on the rotors resulting in excessive wear and rotor overheating.

	How To: Install Rear Disc Brakes on Gen2 F-Body
		If your car's rear axle brake line junction is mounted to the differential cover bolts and you are using the OEM rear disc hard lines (or repops of them), you will need to weld a tab to the axle housing and relocate the brake line junction.
		If you are installing new hard lines, remove the drum brake hard lines from their retaining clips on the axle and install the new ones, starting the installation at the Tee junction with the flexible hose.
		Using parking brake actuator arm for the passenger side caliper, rotate the parking brake screw in the apply direction until both pads contact the rotor.

	IRD Dual Banger Mechanical Disc Brakes
		When you pull the brake lever, a cam moves both the outboard pad to the right and the inboard half of the caliper body (which houses the inboard brake pad) to the left—in effect, squeezing the rotor simultaneously from both sides.
		IRD calls this model the “Dual Banger” because the brake does, in fact, sandwich the rotor, but the way it accomplishes this is very different from what you may have encountered with hydraulic, dual- piston brakes.
		Since the brake pads wear quickly, the next logical question is “Can you actually find replacement pads for these things?” The good news is that the Dual Bangers use the same pads as Shimano’s Deore Mechanical discs, so replacements are readily available.

		Front brake pads wear prematurely compared to the wear experienced on the rear shoes Normally, it is expected that the front brake linings will require replacement approximately twice before the rear lining assemblies need replacement.
		Also, because rear brake adjustment is critical to the total operation of the braking system, it is recommended that the customer be made aware of the proper procedures to operate the rear automatic self adjusting brake system.
		Remove and discard inboard brake lining by tilting the shoe at the top to unseat the retaining spring clip (fig 1).

		The main advantage of inboard brakes is reduced unsprung weight, but also, the picture on the right shows how cars without inboard brakes may not have the best suspension geometry.
		Since outboard brakes leave no room to position the ball joints within the wheel, the kingpin centerline ends up at an undesirable position and angle.
		The wheel offset I speak of is the distance from the wheel mounting surface to the center of the tire.

		I too asked the question of how to service the brakes when burried in the arches but most people dont seem to have a problem and with the GD the whole body comes off anyway (by the way Im going to build a GD and Ive already got the axle and it has inboard discs).
		Inboard discs are undoubtedly difficult to get at but they shouldn't need much maintenance so it's not much of a problem in my opinion.
		The reason why inboard discs are used is because they happen to be on one of the very best suspension setups available; the series 2 Jag.

		To adjust the brake's inboard pad, you will have to insert the Allen wrench between the spokes of the rear wheel to make the adjustment.
		It is easy to mistake this drag for brake drag and consequently over-loosen the pads (compromising performance or the integrity of the system), even though the pads aren't rubbing.
		Never use the brake lever to determine the adjustment without first loosening the cable, checking the position of the piston, adjusting the brake pads and then reestablishing correct cable tension.
