Product details
Red low-profile service calipers and matching red EPB units are supplied with drilled 11-inch iron rotors in this rear kit. The mounting plates are intended for the Chevy 12-bolt C-clip interface at 2.75 inches of axle offset. 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 — 140-16163-DR; supplied as one rear axle brake kit.
- Rotor material and surface — Iron; vented; SRP Drilled & Slotted; surface finish Black Electro Coat.
- Rear axle interface — 12 Bolt housing flange; 2.75 in; 69.85 mm axle offset. Measure the installed assembly.
- Supplied service pads — BP-10 compound; verify suitability for the intended operating conditions.
- Mechanical contents — Separate wheel hubs are not included; mounting hardware supplied; spindles not included.
- 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 0.52 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.
- Parking-brake package — Two separate electric parking calipers, control unit, switch with pigtail and universal wiring harness included; vehicle electrical connections require installation.
- Rotor dimensions — 11.00 in; 279.4 mm outside diameter; 0.81 in; 20.57 mm thick.
- Hydraulic installation — Hydraulic lines and fittings are separate and must be selected for the vehicle; master cylinder not included; brake booster not included.
- Minimum nominal wheel diameter — 14 in; 355.6 mm; full spoke/barrel clearance must be checked using the installation drawing.
- Hydraulic service calipers — Forged Dynapro Low Profile; 4 pistons per caliper; Forged Aluminium body; lug mounting; Stainless pistons.
- Caliper finish and port — Red Powder Coat; hydraulic inlet 1/8-27 NPT.
Fitment & Compatibility
Match the actual rear axle to the 12 Bolt diagram and 2.75-inch offset before disassembly. Verify the bearing arrangement, axle register and wheel-bolt pattern independently, including any changes made during a previous axle conversion. Use the full 14-inch minimum wheel envelope for both caliper positions. Confirm C-clip axle retention and end play; a C-clip eliminator or different housing flange requires its own fit assessment.
Vehicle fitment in the table below remains conditional on axle identity. Measure the housing flange, bearing/retention arrangement, register and offset rather than relying on vehicle year. For Chevelle, 442, Beaumont, Camaro and Apollo vehicles, establish rear-axle fit independently of the front spindle configuration. Confirm the housing flange, axle retention and offset on the installed rear assembly.
The EPB is a parking-hold system, not an emergency stopping brake. It includes a separate left/right motor-driven caliper pair, control unit, switch with pigtail and universal wiring harness. Vehicle power, ground, ignition/accessory connections and protected cable routing must be installed to DS1353; it is not a plug-in factory-harness replacement.
PMB Performance has more than 20 years of parts experience and can help assess the documented brake configuration. Provide the vehicle details together with clear mounting-area photographs and measurements.
Review the Installation instructions, Technical bulletin, EPB mounting and wiring instructions before selecting hardware or checking wheel clearance.
