Press Release PR-5


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Camarillo, CA • June 14, 2012

Wilwood Disc Brakes has released two rear disc brake kits for 1959-64 Chevys to complement our existing Pro Series and Big Brake front brake kits. Our new 11-inch and 12.19-inch Internal Drum Parking Brake Rear Kits for 1959-1964 Chevrolets are perfect for enthusiasts who have original classic cars using that classic Chevy differential assembly. The kits are available in two sizes, kit part number 140-11827 features DynaPro calipers and 11-inch rotors that work with most original classic car and period aftermarket 15-inch wheels and some 14-inch wheels that are designed to clear disc brakes. Kit part number 140-11828 features Dynalite calipers and larger 12.19-inch rotors that will also work with some 15-inch wheels and all of the larger aftermarket wheels that are so popular today. Each brake upgrade kit features Wilwood's special internal drum parking brake design that allows an efficient parking brake system that is easy to install and a snap to hook into the stock parking brake cable system. The kit can be ordered in a black finish with standard rotors or you can upgrade the kit and use red powder coated calipers and SRP drilled and slotted rotors for excellent braking efficiency and an attractive appearance. This upgrade kit will work harmoniously with all of our front brake kits.

Wilwood performance brake kits are loaded with cutting edge technology built on years of domination in world motorsports and are engineered for easy bolt-on installation. Wilwood’s brake enhancement kits are designed to meet the high performance demands of today’s tire, wheel and suspension technology.
