In Simple Terms

This rule covers the brake disc bell—the part that connects the wheel axle to the brake disc and pads. It includes any additional components like deflectors that are bolted onto this assembly. Teams must follow specifications for this critical braking component.

  • The brake disc bell is a structural component that transfers rotational force from the axle to the brake disc
  • The rule applies to the brake disc, brake pads, and the bell assembly itself
  • Any deflectors or other parts bolted onto the bell are covered by this regulation
  • Proper assembly and adherence to specifications is essential for safe braking performance
