Wilwood Drilled 14-Inch Front Kit for Selected Full-Size Ford/Edsel/Mercury Drum Spindles, Black Superlite Six-Piston Calipers and Aluminum Hubs

Black six-piston calipers operate the drilled-and-slotted 14-inch rotors in this full-size hub conversion. The separate aluminum hats and hubs provide the rotor and wheel mounting interfaces, with bearings and hardware selected for the specified factory drum spindle. The braking components are manufactured by Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California. The company's design and manufacturing work includes disc brake systems, calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Across motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, each selected part needs to suit the complete system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Verify the spindle, model/year row and chosen lug pattern before assembly. The required wheel envelope is based on an 18-inch minimum candidate, but spoke clearance still needs the DS1051 diagram. Select and route the separately supplied flexible lines for the actual chassis.

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.
