Wilwood 11.75" Brake Kit Installed
#26
I know I read that the 11.75" kit from Wilwood is their "Track Kit" and that it comes without boots. Can anyone tell me if it can be had booted? I know that some people say you don't have to worry about the booting but from my experience those people don't live with a northern Winter. With the salt on the roads here I wouldn't want to risk it.
I also seem to recall that only Willwood makes pads that fit this caliper, anyone know if other companies are starting to pick up making pads for this?
The Wilwood kit is virtually perfect from my perspective and if the 11.75 kit can be had with boots I'd order it today.
Cheers,
Paul

Currently the only pads for the DynaPro are A,E and Q compounds from Wilwood. However pads fitting the NDL caliper can be made to work as well with some minor work. Dynalte caliper pads are similar but can NOT be used as they are the very thin .490" pad. The NDL part is the proper thickness at about .620.
I'll be at the phone in about an hour...lol.

This is the ONLY forum I have any problems on with this. Must be Marks thin air!
Here:
That's supposed to be my 'home' page. (Maximonline btw)
Right click on any page or drag on some text, click COPY or click CUT, then come here and try to post it via right click, PASTE.
Nadda.
You don't know how many times I've tried to do this on a quick copy or text or a link and been bummed. Even does it in the PM sections. I tried to copy Tony WW text off thier pages and got nothing.

The narrow rotor version requires 1.025" plus air gap.
The wider rotor version requires 1.325" plus air gap.
This is from the hub face of the wheel to the back side of the spoke. For an example of this you can reference the Wilwood kit on their site with the wheel fit drawing they offer. It however includes the air gap. I'd suggest about .100" to be ample. Or you can measure this with a flat edge on one of your wheels and then down into the back side of the spokes. This must be checked from about 4.5 to a full 6+" radius as this is where the body of the caliper sits.
The wider 1.10 kits need more space as the rotor sits closer to the wheel and so too the caliper. The 1.10 is a great kit for all out, dedicated track use, but difficult on wheel fit. The .81 kit is the best all around compromise and the only kit on the market to offer you the benefits of a full size caliper. Here's hoping only minmal spacer is needed for your fit.
