Disc Brakes for Go Karts

Back off the adjusting screw, disconnect the linkage and remove the caliper. Remove the two 3/8"-24 bolts and separate the caliper halves. Remove the actuator side brake pad and the backing plate. Remove the actuator pin, inspect the pin and lever for galling and cracks. Grease the spherical end of the actuator pin, adjusting screw and ramp areas. Replace the pin back into the caliper housing, spherical end first. Place the backing plate into housing and place the brake pad on top of the plate. Scrape all the adhesive and lining material from the surface and put a spot of weatherstrip adhesive the size of a dime on the anvil, place into the recess. Be sure the adjuster screw is backed off completely. Reassemble the caliper and torque the bolts to 24 ft pounds. Replace the caliper onto the mount and reconnect the linkage. Turn the adjuster in until it's snug, then back it off 1/2 a turn. Tighten the jam nut.

The Comet Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper is constructed of high-strength die cast aluminum and has a rated brake torque of 4800 lbs. with 150 lbs. of lever pull force applied on a 10" diameter disc. The actuator has only one moving part to enable quick and easy adjustment by tightening the adjusting nut externally of the die cast housing. Uses automotive type friction material utilized in each puck. Comet's precise, well-machined disc brake caliper delivers vital performance structured for efficiency and reliability.

The Comet Disc Caliper Brake is a direct replacement for comparable brakes of the same size. The caliper has eight (8) different lever positions in either direction. Integrated in the unique actuator design is a positive stop so the Return Spring can be used without causing braking in the opposite direction of pull. The brake also has a very simple means of fine adjustment via the large Hex Adjusting Barrel controlled by a friction procedure that resists turning. The brake can be floated by using spacers and longer assembly bolts or by using the two convenient slots. Can be used on RV's, snowmobiles, go karts, mini bikes, garden tractors, ATV's and numerous industrial applications.
