Wilwood Polished Rear Parking-Brake Conversion for New-Style Currie Ford — Plain 12.19-inch Rotors, Blank Hats

A plain disc face and polished caliper finish accompany the new-style Currie mounting brackets. Its polished 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch plain-face rotors are assembled around the requirements of Currie Big Ford New Style, blank wheel-pattern hats. Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977, designs and manufactures disc brake systems in Camarillo, California. The range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with each component chosen to suit the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Use the new-style Currie Big Ford housing-end arrangement and a 2.50-inch axle-offset measurement for this kit. The wheel-pattern sections of its drum/rotors are supplied blank, allowing the correct bolt circle and clearance holes to be machined for the finished axle. That machining requirement applies to both plain and SRP friction surfaces. Discuss the drilling dimensions with a qualified machine shop before ordering and check the DS430 mounting drawing against the axle. This is not the old-style Currie flange package. The listed Town Car entry remains dependent on the actual Currie rear-end hardware. The mechanical parking shoes are included, but cable choice, routing and adjustment must be completed for the vehicle; hydraulic lines are also purchased separately.

Print and use the manufacturer wheel template at its specified scale. Check the barrel, spoke shape and offset on the wheels that will actually be used.

Read the full application entry below, including the brake, spindle and numbered-note fields that apply to that vehicle.

Package and installation requirements

• The one-piece iron drum/rotors incorporate the parking-brake drums; the internal shoes provide a mechanical parking brake independently of the four-piston service calipers.
• Parking-brake cables and hydraulic brake lines are separate. Wilwood references universal cable kit 330-9371; installation can require cable or vehicle modifications.
• The wheel-pattern sections are supplied blank. A qualified machine shop must establish the correct wheel bolt circle and stud clearance before installation; this is separate from the plain or SRP rotor friction-surface finish.
