Wilwood Black Six-Piston Front Conversion for Selected Full-Size Ford/Edsel/Mercury Cars, Drilled 12.88-Inch One-Piece Rotor/Hats and Hubs

This drilled configuration uses one-piece iron rotor/hat castings on the supplied front hubs. The black Superlite 6R calipers and radial brackets are matched to the documented factory drum spindle, with pads and assembly hardware supplied but no flexline kit. Camarillo, California is the home of Wilwood Engineering, the disc brake systems and components manufacturer founded by Bill Wood in 1977. It designs and manufactures calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. The requirements of the complete brake system determine which individual components are appropriate.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check the full model/year list rather than relying on the abbreviated full-size family description. DS1050 defines the spindle attachment and wheel envelope. Verify the +0.03-inch hub offset, chosen lug circle and a separate hose set with sufficient steering and suspension clearance.

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 +0.03 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.
