Hey Guys....I have seen this on a few threads here and was wondering what exactly they are talking about......when someone refers to a part of the brake system as 1 pot, or 2 pot, or 4 pot......what specifically is the "pot" refering too or what does it stand for???????

They are discussing the number of pistons in a brake caliper.

alright thats what i thought.....thanks for the confirmation buddy...

Right on 'pot' is the piston. It also depends how it is laid out. i.e. two pot floating calipers might have both pistons on one side, sitting on sliders so that the caliper can center itself on the rotor when applied. Other fixed caliper styles might have two pistons on one side of the rotor and two on the other side or something like that.
