Product details
The Dynalite Single IIIA is a compact opposed-piston brake caliper with two 1.75-inch pistons. This anodized version uses a cast aluminum body and a 3.75-inch lug mounting pattern. The series name should not be mistaken for piston count, and its 0.25-inch nominal rotor opening must match the receiving brake package. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, from calipers and brake rotors to master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications; selection depends on the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
Confirm the mounting ears, 1.92-inch mount height and rotor centerline against the original installation. The 3/8-24 inlet is a thread specification, so select a fitting of the correct type rather than treating it as a bore dimension. Check the pad shape, wheel envelope and the stated rotor diameter and thickness limits before installation.
