Product details
This red-caliper kit pairs 12.88-inch GT slotted rings with aluminum rotor hats and new wheel hubs. It is a front service-brake conversion for the stated Mustang II/Pinto/Bobcat disc spindles, with hydraulic lines selected to suit the vehicle. Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Bill Wood founded the company in 1977; its Camarillo, California operation serves motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. The requirements of the complete brake system govern the choice of individual components.

Fitment & Compatibility
Fits only the original disc-brake spindles on the Mustang II, Pinto and Bobcat years listed in the table below. Confirm the actual spindle if the vehicle has been modified; a drum-brake spindle is not interchangeable for this kit. Aluminum hubs, wheel bearings, seals and studs accompany the brake components. Choose the hub bolt pattern to match the wheels and verify DS-562 clearance. Hoses are separate; universal 14-, 16- and 18-inch options are 220-7056, 220-7699 and 220-8307, with length selected for steering and suspension travel. Nominal minimum wheel diameter: 17 in; 431.8 mm. Compare the actual wheel barrel and spokes with the linked clearance drawing; diameter alone does not establish fit.
