At Rimmer Bros, we stock the complete range of TR7 brake parts including original specification components and uprated alternatives that enhance performance whilst maintaining the authentic driving experience your TR7 was designed to deliver.
TR7 Front Brake System
Your Triumph TR7 features front disc brakes with single piston sliding calipers and solid brake discs. This system provides the majority of your car's stopping power whilst maintaining the direct pedal feel that characterises British sports cars of this era.
The front brake system uses specific caliper mounting brackets and disc dimensions that differ from other Triumph models. These components require exact specifications to maintain proper brake balance and pedal feel.
Original equipment front brake components restore your TR7 to factory performance standards whilst maintaining compatibility with the brake servo and master cylinder systems.
TR7 Front Brake Components
Front brake calipers on your TR7 use a simple single piston design that provides reliable service when properly maintained. These calipers feature cast iron construction with precision bore dimensions that ensure consistent pad contact.
Front brake pads require specific friction materials that provide adequate stopping power without excessive heat buildup. Standard pads offer reliable performance for road use whilst maintaining the progressive pedal feel your TR7 was designed with.
Front brake discs feature solid construction with specific thickness and diameter requirements. These discs provide adequate thermal mass for TR7 applications whilst maintaining the weight distribution Triumph engineered into the chassis.
Uprated TR7 Brake Improvements
Uprated brake components enhance your TR7's stopping capability for more demanding driving conditions. These improvements maintain compatibility with existing brake system components whilst providing enhanced performance.
Uprated brake pads feature enhanced friction materials that provide improved bite and fade resistance compared to standard compounds. These pads work with original brake discs whilst delivering noticeably improved stopping power.
Performance brake discs offer improved heat dissipation through enhanced metallurgy and surface treatments. These discs maintain original dimensions whilst providing better thermal performance during repeated hard stops.
