I have a Wilwood rear parking brake caliper....

 

Didn't we just talk about this over the phone?

This is just a mean tease without photos Todd!

Great, more money to spend. When will we get pics/prices/etc?

The brackets are in CAD tonight.....
Chips flying soon.

 

OK. Todd: I have the Plus4 with rears, will these be retrofittable to my kit?

cheers,
phil

 

You betcha. Never overlook the former customer.

 

Will this possibly be available on a plus 0 type kit? I don't want to have to use spacers in the rear if I end up having to use them in the front, too.

in for good info

 

Trying to get you a pic.

 

Here you go Todd...

 

Thanks! I was having a helluva time with that. Pulled if from a pdf and couldn't figure out how to make it jpg.

 

Your welcome. Looks very nice.

 

That one just doesn't work well.
Here are two from the shop. In yellow (not done to my stds) but proving I do have it!

 

They look good to me!

Thanks alot Todd... I told you I need to wait a month or so but you are making it very hard to wait for new brakes!

 

The yellow is definitely not a good shade, but the caliper looks good.

 

is this a floating single piston set up? What's it weigh?

Matt

 

That is correct. Same design as you have now.
I'm not sure of weght, I'll check. Alum bod with steel cage and alum radial bracket (soon).

 

Hello
Which is the difference of this for the OEM?

Best Regards

 

If I understand the question-
There is no difference in this caliper from OEM other than the matching appearance of the body when used with a Wilwood front kit. Function will remain the same; functional rear caliper with internal parking brake feature.

The caliper will be fit only to the TCE 11.75" rotor package and not the OEM rotor.

 

Can you get it without the Wilwood logo to match other front BBks?

 

Only if you or I mill off the high portion of the outer body. The logo is milled into the surface. Then you'll have a shiney body (not you, the caliper) and need to powder coat it or paint it.

 

A couple of more thoughts on all of this based in part on some PMs.

This caliper is intended for use with the TCE rear rotor kit. That's a 11.75 x .375 two piece hat/rotor combo of which there are many in service.

This kit should not be paired with an 11.75 kit and is 'iffy' with a 12.2 kit. While the piston is the same size, the larger rotor on the back will throw bias to the rear quite a bit. Yes I have produced a number of rear kits for those of you with 12.2 fronts and even done so in matching hat styles. No probblem. The caliper change will be a wash for clamping value so with a mild street pad (which is all I will supply) should be ok.

The current kit and the caliper upgrade will not fit inside a 15" wheel.

The caliper body overhang past the outer friction surface will be slightly greater than your stock set up. I will post this info as soon as I have it.

If your current wheels clear my FSL caliper TCE/Wilwood kit you have no problem. If the DP caliper on the Wilwood factory kit clears you'll have no problem If you have another kit which clears the stock wheel I'd advise you to double check fit before ordering a complete rear kit. If you already have my rear rotor kit and another front kit (??) you should "probably" be ok as well but a quick check may be a good idea.

 

Today we did the first test fit of the new radial mount bracket. Good news is that we have the bracket very close to wha we expect to require.

I am however waiting yet on Wilwood to get me the caliper we'll be using on this project. Yes I have the p-brake part but not the proper one I intend to use for the current rotor. I'm hoping by the end of the month at the latest I'll have this part and can shift things into high gear.

We also found that the current parking brake cable "may" work on this and it's clearly my intention to try and do so. Thus preventing you from needing to source custom cables. And install them.

For those of you with DIRECT thread we might have a bit of a snag but I'm working on it as well. For those with the M12 banjos all you should need is a new M10 banjo. Can't catch a break on these rear hoses!

 

I'm interested in possibly getting a set of Wilwood 12.2" front brakes together with some rear brakes with the matching red hats & plain rotor finish. What I'd like to know is does the rear kit relocate the caliper like the Ireland rear kit or leave it in the stock location?

Incidentally I'm running 17" ASA wheels on a 2006 JCW MCS, so I don't expect any clearance or other issues. Do you forsee any other other problems with this combo that I may not?

Feel free to PM me with pricing and other info if you don't mind.

 

The rear kit is a larger rotor and relocation bracket as well. In your case we'd use the Wilwood hat rather than the TCE hat to keep the appearance the same on both ends. We could arrange for red hats if that's what you want.

Pricing is posted as are the kit specs here:

I'll extend a small discount on the combo (front and rear) kit purchases.
Or maybe just give you the red hats for no extra charge.
