At Shaftec we’ve been remanufacturing brake calipers since 2007 – the same year as the first i-phone was introduced which reportedly cost over $150 million to create.

What is it? A brake caliper is an important part of a car’s disc brake system.
What does it do? The job of a caliper is to house caliper mounting bolts, bushings, pistons, seals, dust boots, retainers, noise shims, the brake pads and anti-rattle clips.
Where can it be found? There is usually one per wheel – though super-fast-sports cars can have two. It’s attached to the steering knuckle via mounting bolts, and it is positioned over part of the brake disc or rotor.
Our premium remanufactured range consists of over 5300 part numbers. In some cases, the caliper supplied will be a new unit.
Remanufacturing is not just a poorer substitute for new. It’s a process which results in components that are as good as new, tested as new and perform in that way for the lifetime of the part.
Each Shaftec branded brake caliper is stripped right back to the original casting and inspected to ensure that there are no defects. All brake calipers are then refurbished to the original state reassembled by hand using brand new components.
This means 100% new pistons, springs, actuation parts and seals. Nothing is left untouched and everything is completely renewed to the highest quality of ISO 9001/2015.
At Shaftec we don’t batch test.
So, after assembly each individual brake caliper is air pressure tested beyond the capacity experienced on the vehicle.
