Wilwood Front System for GM A/F/X-Body and Ridetech Pin Spindles (1960–1982 Applications): 12.88-inch Drilled/Slotted Rotors with Polished FNSL6R

Polished FNSL6R calipers distinguish this 12.88-inch SRP front hub kit. The brakes, bearings and wheel studs are supplied for the specified GM or Ridetech spindle, with the table distinguishing factory applications from modified vehicles. Founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its component range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Choose each component to match the complete system’s braking requirements.

Polished calipers with SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors give this 12.88-inch kit its look. It's sized for wheels that won't clear the 14-inch 140-9804 kits. A polished finish takes regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner, since acidic wheel cleaners can dull it. For a car that also goes to the track, 140-9803-P keeps the polished calipers and switches to GT slotted rotors.

Fitment & Compatibility

The table below separates original GM disc/drum spindles from vehicles fitted with the specified Ridetech pin spindles. It includes GM applications such as Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Cutlass, Skylark, Firebird and GTO, plus specifically modified Falcon, Mustang, F-100, Comet and Corvette applications. Do not treat the latter as stock-spindle fitments. DS-564 requires drilling/tapping on some early spindles and recommends a qualified machinist. Track width increases 0.38 inch per side from the OE drum face or 0.09 inch from the OE disc face. Check fender and wheel clearance, and select separate hoses for the actual suspension. 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.
