Product details
This red-caliper Small Ford package uses drilled/slotted 12.88-inch rotors and separate internal parking shoes. It is a dimension-selected axle conversion: the 2.66-inch offset, bearing and flange geometry are all purchase checks. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering has designed and manufactured disc brake systems and components since Bill Wood founded the company in 1977. Its work spans motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with a product range covering master cylinders, calipers, brake rotors, valves, fittings and brake lines. These parts must be chosen for the requirements of the entire brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
Measure between the axle-flange and housing-flange faces to confirm the 2.66-inch offset before choosing this red Small Ford conversion. The original vehicle model cannot identify a modified axle end. Use DS526 for the bearing, retainer and flange-bolt checks, including the 6.61-inch flange/chamfer limit. A supplied ring adapts the 3.06-inch hat center to a 2.80-inch register. Parking shoes and backing plates are provided; hoses, clevises and cable controls are separate. Verify their routing and holding operation on the finished installation.
The table below gives the detailed vehicle coverage; match the individual entry and each referenced note.
Adjust and test the mechanical parking brake as directed. Cable routing, tension and shoe adjustment affect its holding ability; do not rely on an untested parking brake alone to secure the vehicle on a slope.
