Genuine Mazda NF47-33-281 Front Brake Caliper Support Bracket
Replacement Genuine Mazda front brake caliper support bracket for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / Mk3.5 / Mk3.75 (NC) models listed in the compatibility table.
The front brake caliper support bracket, also known as a caliper carrier or disc brake caliper bracket, mounts the front brake caliper in the correct position over the brake disc. It provides the mounting points for the caliper assembly and helps maintain correct brake pad alignment, caliper position and braking performance.
This Genuine Mazda bracket is used on the front brake assembly and can be used on the left-hand or right-hand front side where applicable. It is especially useful when the original bracket is corroded, damaged, seized, has worn slider pin bores, damaged threads, or is unsuitable for reuse during front brake refurbishment.
This part is commonly replaced during brake caliper rebuilds, front brake overhauls, seized caliper repairs, brake carrier corrosion repairs, or when replacing damaged front brake mounting hardware.
