Abstract: A carrier and mount assembly for a heavy vehicle disc brake. The assembly includes a carrier having a first location formation formed therein, a mount having a second location formation formed therein, wherein the second location formation is aligned with the first location formation, and wherein the carrier is mounted to the mount via two or more fasteners that extend in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of insertion or removal of a friction element into or from the carrier. There is also a locator positioned in the first and second location formations to enable the carrier and mount to be assembled in the correct position, wherein the locator is at least a close fit to the first and second location formations.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disc brake caliper. The disc brake caliper has a housing and a piston for moving a friction element into contact with a rotor. A yoke is provided for at least partially guiding the piston, and the yoke is positioned within the housing and moveable relative to the housing. A guide member along which the yoke is slideable is provided, and the guide member is a component separate to the yoke and the housing, and is mounted to the housing.
