Product details
Red calipers are combined with SRP rotors and replacement hubs for the specified Chevrolet spindles. At the front axle, this kit pairs red powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors with the mounting hardware for 1955–1957 Chevrolet passenger cars. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977. It designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with a range including calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Selecting the mounting and hydraulic components together is part of building the complete brake system.

Package and installation requirements
- Included hubs offer 5 x 4.5 and 5 x 4.75-inch wheel bolt circles and 1/2-20 studs. Verify the intended wheel pattern and template clearance.
- The manufacturer specifies a +0.23-inch hub offset on each side. Account for that wheel-position change when checking tire, fender and suspension clearance on the Tri-Five Chevrolet.
Fitment & Compatibility
The Tri-Five Chevrolet application list covers Bel Air, Nomad, One-Fifty, Two-Ten and Sedan Delivery from 1955–1957, together with the listed 1957 Del Ray. Verify the original spindle before selecting the hub kit, especially on a car that has already received a disc conversion or suspension change. New hubs supply two wheel bolt-circle options and 1/2-20 studs; check that the intended wheels match the selected pattern. DS449 describes the bearing and hub assembly sequence and provides the clearance profile for the 12.19-inch rotor. The kit changes the hub and braking hardware but does not include replacement spindles, a booster or a master cylinder. Review those existing components as part of the finished conversion rather than treating the new calipers as a complete hydraulic system.
The listed applications below retain their equipment qualifiers. Check the matching row and each referenced note before selecting the kit.
