Product details
This rear kit retains GT-slotted rotor faces with red four-piston Superlite service calipers. Separate EPB units and the supplied control set provide parking hold, with the 2.50-inch axle offset defining the Small Ford installation. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977. Based in Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized use. Calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines are among its components; their selection depends on the needs of the complete brake system.
Technical Details
- Manufacturer part number: 140-16151-R; supplied as one rear axle brake kit.
- Minimum nominal wheel diameter: 17 in; 431.8 mm; full spoke/barrel clearance must be checked using the installation drawing.
- Supplied service pads: BP-10 compound; verify suitability for the intended operating conditions.
- Rotor material and surface: Spec-37 Iron; vented; GT Slotted; surface finish Black Electro Coat.
- Hydraulic service calipers: Forged Narrow Superlite 4R; 4 pistons per caliper; Forged Aluminium body; radial mounting; Stainless pistons.
- Rear axle interface: Small Ford housing flange; 2.50 in; 63.5 mm axle offset. Measure the installed assembly.
- Parking-brake package: Two separate electric parking calipers, control unit, switch with pigtail and universal wiring harness included; vehicle electrical connections require installation.
- Caliper finish and port: Red Powder Coat; hydraulic inlet 1/8-27 NPT.
- Cataloged rotor/hat mounting-hole pattern: 5 x 4.5 in; 5 x 114.3 mm; 5 x 4.75 in; 5 x 120.65 mm; 5 x 5 in; 5 x 127 mm bolt circle; cataloged stud-hole clearances 0.520 in; 13.21 mm. The existing hub or axle flange determines the vehicle wheel pattern and stud specification. These rotor/hat drillings do not convert that pattern.
- Rotor mounting hats: Aluminum; Black E-Coat; hat offset 2.035 inches. This is a hat dimension, not the axle offset.
- Hydraulic installation: Hydraulic lines and fittings are separate and must be selected for the vehicle; master cylinder not included; brake booster not included.
- Mechanical contents: Separate wheel hubs are not included; mounting hardware supplied; spindles not included.
- Rotor dimensions: 12.88 in; 327.15 mm outside diameter; 1.10 in; 27.94 mm thick.
Fitment & Compatibility
This kit is selected for Small Ford geometry at 2.50 inches of axle offset. Wheel-stud pattern and register dimensions must match the supplied rotors or hats, and the parking motors and harness connectors need clearance throughout suspension travel. Compare the intended 17-inch or larger wheel with the installation drawing.
Any vehicle application in the fitment table below depends on the installed axle interface. Compare flange and bearing geometry, axle offset, center register and wheel hardware with the specified assembly. For a 1990 Lincoln Town Car, identify the actual axle and confirm the specified interface; do not select this conversion from model and year alone.
Two dedicated motorized calipers provide parking hold separately from the hydraulic service calipers. The kit supplies their switch with pigtail, control unit and universal wiring harness. DS1353 covers the required 12V vehicle connections and component placement. The EPB is not an emergency stopping brake.
With over 20 years of parts experience, PMB Performance can help check the brake arrangement before ordering. Send the vehicle year, axle photographs and relevant hub or suspension changes.
Review the Installation instructions, Technical bulletin, EPB mounting and wiring instructions before selecting hardware or checking wheel clearance.
