For sale is a never opened Wilwood front disc brake kit for a 1963-64 Corvette. It will also fit other cars listed below. This is a complete bolt on system requiring no changes to the front spindles. Later, after buying this kit, I decided to do a frame off restoration of my '64 and decided to do the factory front and rear discs. In addition to the items listed here, I also bought the stainless steel flex lines. I bought this kit on Ebay from Matt's Classic Bowtie. The current price for this kit w/o the flex lines is $689.95. Make me an offer.

The manufacturer advises the use of a 15" or larger wheels. In our experience many 14" disc brake wheels have worked, however it is not guaranteed to fit. Please review the installation instructions for more details on fitment and backspacing.

This kit will only move your wheels out .27 inches!

FDL Pro-Series Front Hub Kits offer complete disc brake upgrade solutions for traditional non-ABS spindle applications on American muscle cars, vintage rods, and heavy weight drag cars. Based on the venerable forged billet Dynalite caliper, these versatile kits are easily optioned to suit the braking requirements and style preferences for a daily driver, serious competition, or the most discriminating show enthusiast. Most kits require no modifications for installation, and provide plenty of clearance inside popular 15?? wheels. FDL Pro-Series kits can be used with either manual or power boost master cylinders.

Forged Dynalite Caliper:

The Forged Billet Dynalite Caliper has wide spread application over many forms of motorsports. It serves as the base model in the majority of Wilwood's Bolt-On Disc Brake Kits. The latest applied developments and innovations in caliper design and manufacturing processes have resulted in substantial improvements in strength and performance over all comparable models.

Forged Dynalites are the strongest calipers in the class, with weights starting at 2.80 pounds. The process of stress-flow forging re-aligns the metal's grain structure within the contour of the caliper body. This process eliminates the breaks and interruptions to the internal grain structure that occur when machining a straight block billet. The FEA generated radial transition design eliminates steps and shoulders in the area between the piston housing body and the caliper bridges. Incorporating a radius in this transition area substantially increases resistance to deflection and caliper separation under load. Structural deflection and volume displacement tests have proven the Forged Dynalite Caliper to outperform all existing styles of this popular caliper size. Without even considering the overall greater strength and reliability of the forging, the reduced deflection tendencies and the resulting decrease in fluid volume displacement translate to increased clamping efficiency with less pedal travel. The bottom line is a taller pedal and better stopping power.

The superior strength of this innovative design is combined with proven performance features from Wilwood's earlier designs. Each caliper is equipped with Wilwood's SRS stainless steel bridge plates. The SRS plates eliminate the bridge wear caused by pad gouging and extend the service life of the caliper body. The spring-loading action of the SRS plates also eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to squeal under braking. Other standard Wilwood features include high temperature seals and stainless steel pistons to eliminate corrosion and retard heat transfer from the pads. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external tubes. Four corner bleed screws assure simple and effective air evacuation from the system and allow one caliper to be mounted in any front, rear, right or left position. Standard race calipers feature Wilwood's signature bright black anodized finish to resist corrosion and maintain their high tech style.

Forged Dynalite calipers are a direct replacement for all Wilwood Dynalite and similar competitive brand calipers with 5.25" centered mounting lugs. The Forged Dynalite uses the same 7112 type brake pad used in all earlier versions of this caliper.

Ultralite HP 32 Vane Rotor:

Ultra-Light ULHP-32 straight vane rotors provide an excellent balance of efficient cooling and lower rotating mass on hard braking dirt tracks or rear axle service on pavement cars. UL rotors are cast from premium grade, long grain carbon iron for long wear, high thermal stability, and resistance to distortion. ULHP-32 rotors offered the added performance and smoother operation of precision turned faces with less than .001" variation in flatness, parallelism, or run-out.

This kit is a simple install 100% bolt on to your original spindles! This is a name brand kit with a REAL company for tech support and warranty.

Here are the installation instructions.

Jerry, do you know the weight of this kit (ship wt)?

It was nearly 46 pounds when I shipped them about an hour ago to a fellow member in California.

Thanks for inquiring.

SOLD!!
