Product details
Wilwood's classic front conversion uses black four-piston Dynalite Internal calipers and integral rotor/hub assemblies for the listed Ford and Mercury passenger cars. The selected component diameter is 11.29 inches, with plain friction faces and BP-10 pads. Included flex lines and bearing-related hardware accompany the conversion on the compatible factory drum spindle; the original vehicle's body style and production year remain significant. 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

Assemble and adjust the rotor/hub bearings as directed, then align the calipers. The nominal 15-inch wheel reference remains conditional on the full diagram.
