A cylindrical hole.
A bright color per design that uses an adapter, or anchor plate, which is bolted to the spindle. The caliper floats laterally across a pair of special bolts that are screwed into the adapter. As hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston, the in board pad is forced against the rotor. This pressure causes the caliper to move inboard until an equal pressure is applied by the outside pad to the outer disk surface.
