-BOP rear axle mounting
-E brake
-Fits behind 15" wheels
-Compliments the D-52 Wilwood replacements
-Works well with the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder and prop valve
-Wont offset the rear wheels outward

You might want to look at their Forged Dynalite Rear Parking Brake Kit for the BOP 10/12-bolt applications. Even though they specify that 16" wheels are required, they do note that some 15" wheels will clear as well, it just depends on the wheels. Assuming that you already have your wheels, you should download the fitment spec sheet in the installation instructions from their website to check your wheels. Wilwood #140-7147

You're going to have a hard time finding any rear disc kit that doesn't increase the rear track width since most, if not all, rotors are going to be thicker through the hat than the OE drums at .105". That said, rotors will vary depending on the manufacturer and kit, however plan on a minimum hat thickness of ~3/16" and a max of ~5/16 depending on the application. Wilwood rotors actually tend to be thinner than most other manufacturers in my experience.

Wilwood had a new product at SEMA. They now have an 11" rotor with an internal drum parking brake. It should fit in a 14" wheel.

Thats what I am going with. The 11 inch rears. I also found out that they have dust booted versions of the 4 piston dynalites. That was a major problem I had with wilwood. Thats the only ones though. They didnt do the 6 pistons. I am going with the 11" rears and the 12.2 fronts. I know the 11s on the rear will let me throw some 15" drag radials on if I want, and the 12.2's will probably allow 15s too if I ever want the muscle car look again.

Do you know the part number?

[Bryce]

I dont, sorry. Its on their website. They have them for 8 and 9" fords not sure about the chevy rearends. I found it searching for a 65 mustang. small bearing.

Thanks Bryce. I have 82 Eldorado rear disc brakes now, was looking to upgrade to a larger brake, either 11" or 12". I'll call Wilwood Monday.

I run wilwoods on my bop 10 bolt. I have the 12.2 dynalite 10bolt kit for a chevy. You have to have spacers made due to removing the backing plate. also you need to make a ring to fit the axel hub to center the rotor.
