Reply to "Wilwood Brakes - Component #'s??"

Julian & Ron,

I have a Wilwood brake system on my Pantera. It's an older system. The original system that a Pantera vendor helped Wilwood develop for the Pantera.

It has 4 piston super lite calipers all around, 12 3/4" slotted rotors, braided steel hoses, the aluminum "mustang master cylinder". There is no proportioning valve in my system, yet the brakes are wonderfully balanced front to back, that's because the caliper pistons in front are larger than those in the rear.

Why not buy a complete kit that is fully engineered, equipped with all the little brackets, hoses, fasteners, back pressure valves you need, that eliminates any guess work? Isn't the ease, the time saved, the assurance of having a proper engineered kit, worth something to you. It's a brake system, the most important system on your car. Do you really want to roll your own?

I ask you to at least consider spending your money with a Pantera vendor. My argument is that doing so is spending your money wisely, because it supports the Pantera community. Part of that money comes back to you in the form of the parts & services offered by the vendors who serve our community.

For instance, this very bulletin board is supported by a Pantera vendor. Without that support, there would be no DTBB.

your friend on the DTBB
