Wilwood Red Dynalite-M Front Brake Conversion, Drilled Integral-Hub Rotors, for Selected Full-Size Ford/Edsel/Mercury Models (1957–1968)

Red powder-coated Dynalite-M calipers operate the drilled-and-slotted rotor/hubs in this full-size front kit. The integrated iron hubs locate on the documented factory drum spindles, with no separate replacement spindle or master cylinder included. Wilwood Engineering is based in Camarillo, California. Bill Wood founded its disc brake system and component business in 1977. The manufacturer designs and produces calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized uses. Each item must suit the rest of the brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Confirm the spindle and bearing arrangement for the exact model/year row. Include the outward hub offset in tire-to-fender calculations and compare the wheel with DS1049. Flexible lines must be chosen separately from the listed alternatives for the actual chassis connection and travel.

Separate front flexline references are 220-8307, 220-7699 and 220-12168; select the length and vehicle-end connection appropriate to the chassis. Listed hub offset is +0.18 inch per side.

Use the fitment table below for the complete model, year, submodel and brake-option conditions; every listed condition must match the installed vehicle.
