Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many retention screws do I need for my MCP brake system?
A: You will need four screws in total to properly secure the brake pads in your MCP caliper. These are sold individually, so please ensure you add the correct quantity to your cart.
Q: Why is it important to use the correct retention screw?
A: These screws are designed to lock the pads in place, preventing them from shifting under heavy braking loads. Proper retention ensures even pad wear and maintains a consistent, sharp brake pedal response.
Q: What is the benefit of the button head design on this screw?
A: The button head (BHCS) provides a clean, low-profile fit that minimizes interference within the caliper assembly while ensuring the pads remain securely seated despite high-frequency vibrations on the track.
