Product details
Red four-piston calipers and drilled/slotted 10.75-inch rotors identify this Wilwood conversion for the listed six-cylinder Ford/Mercury front spindles. Supplied replacement hubs retain a four-lug wheel layout, with brackets matched to that smaller original spindle. This package must not be assumed compatible with a V8 spindle simply because the car shares the same model and production year. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Fitment & Compatibility
Use DS921 to compare the installed spindle, bearings and bracket points. The wheel mounting face moves outward 0.92 inches per side, requiring a careful tire/fender clearance assessment before choosing the conversion. Verify the actual wheel's caliper clearance rather than relying solely on the 14-inch screening size. Hydraulic hoses remain separate, and the master cylinder and rear brakes must be evaluated as a complete system.
Match the individual model, year, submodel and brake configuration in the fitment table below.
