Four-piston ‘Princess’ calipers were commonly fitted as an upgrade to many Fords – and therefore – thousands of kitcars used the M16 caliper as it conveniently had the same mounting bolt pattern.

Burton Power is now able to offer a faithful reproduction of the ‘Princess’ caliper for those who prefer a period modification. The new calipers are now supplied with a spacer kit that allows them to be used with vented discs.
The calipers can be ordered as part number CAL4POTV and retail at More >
