Does anyone know the typical brake pad/piston travel for a single pot road car brake caliper. The travel for the pad to come away from rest into contact with the disc for the pressure to then be applied.
I'm trying to design my pedal box and need to know a rough figure of pedal travel but don't have my brake hardware set up on my car yet so can't measure it and can't really visualise it in my head either. Half a mm maybe?
