Some time ago I was asked to produce a fixed mount caliper kit option for a guy who was doing one of the hybrid cross fit builds using the CV front clip in his F100. So....I did. And I've no finalized the parts and build sheet for all CV and MM owners how may be looking for such a kit.
This kit uses a new Wilwood FNSL6, radial mount, six pot caliper with a larger total area. It's readily available in both black and red powder coat finish and uses the popular 7416 brake pad offering a plethora of compound options.
* To clarify this is for the stock size CV/MM 12" front rotor. Any brand, any style, any finish etc.
Bolt on is, to an extent like the BBK, a bit of a chore in that yes some material must be ground from the massive aluminum casting FoMoCo has supplied us with. This is not of course intentional....it's simply a matter of trying to fit 10lbs of you know what in a 5lb can. The smaller rotor lowers the mount height of the caliper and we cannot compromise the bracket so you'll have no choice but to take some from the knuckle.
Aside from that the final fit is quite simple: bolt on the bracket, adjust the caliper centering if necessary with the supplied ss shims and slip the caliper down onto the studs. Check the pad fit to the edge of the rotor and adjust shim if required on the stud. Torque the supplied M14 hardware and cap nuts on the studs to spec. Lastly fit the ss flex hose kit as you would on our BBKs.
The kits are sold as a generic kit for the CV guys and two options are available for the MM owners: 1. The ss flex line kit, and 2. The required 3/16" wheel spacer. Yes that's correct you'll need that with your stock wheels for the spokes to clear. This remains wider than the TCE 13 and 14" BBK due to the shallower offset of the rotor hat...ain't nothin' I can do about that. But....if you have alternate wheels are are using this on another build fitment may vary. *It should be said that I have not yet check stud length for this, however I believe them to be quit long now.
Base kits will run $989
Hose kits $50
Wheel spacer kit $30
Brackets are back from Anodizing today. Both red and black calipers are now in stock.
