MrFancypants Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not sure how new these are, but just noticed them on their website. Anybody used these in a custom front suspension? http://www.wilwood.com/pdf/fl193.pdf I also saw these new rear brake calipers with built in mechanical parking brake: http://www.wilwood.com/pdf/fl191.pdf - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar240z Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Unfortunately the parking brake wont fit one of the wilwood brake kits currently offered. It is a radial mount style, where our kits use the 3.5" mount style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the cost of the calipers it might be worth designing a new bracket, though. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'd want a bracket that would fit up the regular 4piston, and a wilwood mechanical spot the one you posted is a single piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Lunar - exactly. What's the advantage of this Wilwood parking brake caliper over the MM 240sx kit? I actually have both the AZC 4 piston and MM 240sx conversions. Wound up installing the 240sx kit. Shouldn't it be possible to machine a bracket like the AZC bracket with the mounts for Wilwood mechanical spots? I considered having some made, but figured the cost to get just one pair made would be too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the advantage I see of these calipers is they allow you to run the large variety of Wilwood .81" (and 1.00") vented rear discs. Not sure if there's a readily available top hat that will work, though. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
