LoadForce TA400 brake caliper with stainless piston replaces Al-Ko & Trojan MK7

LoadForce TA400 hydraulic galvanised cast iron trailer brake caliper with stainless steel piston. An improved design that directly replaces the Al-Ko and Trojan MK7 caliper which are fitted with phenolic plastic pistons. Phenolic pistons are renowned for swelling and eventually seize in the caliper. The Loadforce TA400 caliper eliminates this fault by using a billet stainless steel piston. A short video on stainless steel caliper pistons is available here. (opens Youtube in a new window). 

The slide pins in the TA400 have also been upgraded to a stronger design.

The LoadForce TA400 caliper fits 1/2 inch up to 5/8 inch rotor thickness.

1 x TA400BOLTKIT required for mounting. A HU4 union and CW1 copper washer are also required for installation of the brake line to the caliper.

Before connecting your new brake caliper to hydraulic brake lines you must flush out the old brake fluid from the actuator (master cylinder or electric/hydraulic pump) and brake lines before connecting this new brake caliper.

Once flushed, then connect brake lines, refresh the system with new brake fluid and bleed air from the brake system.

Compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4 brake fluid, however we do recommend using Dot 4 Brake fluid as it has higher moisture resistance. Failure to flush the system could void warranty.

The brake pads used in this caliper a premium product specifically designed for trailer applications. Large trailers carrying heavy loads can generate very high brake temperatures. The heavy duty asbestos free friction material formulation used in the LoadForce product is capable of handling high temperatures for long time periods and minimizes the chances of brake fade.
