Does a Caliper Cover Affect Heat Dissipation?
1 Answers
A caliper cover affects the heat dissipation of the brake caliper. Below are detailed explanations about car caliper covers: 1. Impact of Installing a Caliper Cover: The cover impedes heat dissipation and compromises safety. During driving, it may even break or fall off. In some cases, after installing a larger piston brake caliper, the braking force might weaken. Essentially, a caliper cover serves only a decorative purpose without any practical function. 2. Installation Considerations: When installing a caliper cover, trimming is often required, and AB adhesive is used for fixing. If the AB adhesive is of poor quality or the bonding surface is not properly cleaned, the cover may easily detach.
