Patent ID: 8079448

Claim:
A mounting arrangement for a disc brake, having a caliper and brake disc, on a vehicle axle, the disc brake being subject to forces tending to skew the caliper relative to the brake disc during operation, the mounting arrangement comprising: at least two fixing lugs operatively configured to extend radially from the vehicle axle in different directions, each lug providing a respective fixing point, wherein the respective fixing points secure a component of the disc brake to the two fixing lugs; wherein at least one of the fixing lugs is oriented to extend radially at an angle relative to a plane of the brake disc, said angle of the at least one fixing lug and an orientation relative to the plane of the brake disc of the other fixing lug being operatively defined to arrange the fixing points at defined locations, wherein the defined locations of the fixing points allow the fixing lugs to substantially counteract the forces tending to skew the caliper relative to the brake disc during operation.
