Wilwood front disc brake kit for 68-72 A-body,

Installing new disc brake kit for 68-74 Chevelle, GTO, Buick, 442, Oldsmobile,

[@jdsmith556]

I’ve been watching several of your GTO videos and I can honestly say this does NOT qualify as a budget build. This car is going to be awesome when it’s done, and appears that money was no object, no corners were cut. 💯%

[@classicrewind2715]

Thank you JD.. I'm not trying to cut any corners on this build. I'm doing this for myself. That's why it's taking me a long time to get this car complete. I am doing the transmission tunnel now. I should be done in the next week or two. All the best. Thanks for watching!!

[@matthanson490]

Thanks, this helps a lot. I’m planning on installing some disc brakes on my Chevelle this year

[@classicrewind2715]

Glad I could help. If you need anything, just reach out. I'll try to help you the best I can. All the best

[@jimmylee8459]

Super Video you really help me alot. I purchased Hotchkis and Wilwood their instructions could have both been alot clearer. Waiting on my steering brackets to come from Summit. Thanks again

[@classicrewind2715]

Hi. Thank for the kind words I'm glad I was able to help you. I reuse my old steering arms, I just cleaned them up and painted them black. All the best, thanks again.

[@dogismyco-pirate]

Looking good man! Coming right along!!!

[@classicrewind2715]

Hi Nathan. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for the kind words. Can't wait to get together again in New York. All the best

[@waynebauer2770]

Looking Great!! I got my front end rebuilt, working on rebuilding the rear now.

[@classicrewind2715]

Thanks Wayne. What kind of front end did you put in? I was debating between ridetech and Hotchkis for my car. Obviously I chose ridetech. All the best

[@waynebauer2770]

@@classicrewind2715 I'm just doing a basic stock restoration. I did use a 1 in lowering spring in front and disc brake conversion from in line tube. Other than that all stock

[@classicrewind2715]

Very nice. I should do a one inch lowering kit on my Chevelle. I think all Chevelle sit high in the front end. My SS Chevelle is all original except for the motor transmission and air shocks. All the best

[@waynebauer2770]

@@classicrewind2715 I love your Chevelle, It looks great. Mine is Fathom Blue with white convertible top and white seats. I'm rebuilding my rear now, I found bad spider gears. Wasn't planning on that, but that's expected when working on old cars

[@classicrewind2715]

True, you never know what you're going to find in these old cars. When I bought the GTO. I thought it was in good shape until I realized the previous owner cut the main support of the firewall to the frame. Then I decided I'm just going to redo the whole car. Good luck on the rear you're rebuilding. All the best

[@wesleysouza4301]

Nice job

[@classicrewind2715]

Thanks. All the best!!

[@brianwiechnik9123]

Do you remember what size master cylinder you put in this system. I have the exact same wilwood setup and tried a 1-1/8" master cylinder from wilwood and I cannot lock the wheels up. I am running the original gm 11" booster.

[@classicrewind2715]

Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I am using a Hydro Boost system. I got rid of the stock booster.. I am running a rack and pinion as well if you check out some of my other videos. You may need a new proportioning valve. All the best

[@frankabel5064]

Thanks for the informative video. Do you have a list of part numbers for this kit & possibly a price for it? I'm looking for this kit for my 66 el camino. Love the black rotors & the hubs but do not know the part #'s. Thanks for any & all info that you can provide.

[@classicrewind2715]

I purchased my rotors and calipers from Wilwood I don't recall the part number but it is in one of my videos . Six piston in the front four piston in the rear. Hope this helps, thanks for watching. all the best

[@mikec.2746]

Nice work. Looks like you do high end work.

[@classicrewind2715]

Thank you for the kind words. I am building this car for myself. So I'm going to try to put some Quality Parts in it. Maybe when I'm done I could try to take it to Sema

[@mikec.2746]

@@classicrewind2715 Good luck, hope you take it to SEMA.

[@classicrewind2715]

Thanks

[@BessieMorrison]

I would love to see some videos about the 69 Chevelle you have in the background. Did you do much work to that car as well? Thanks for sharing the process.

[@classicrewind2715]

Thank you for the kind words. I will try to do more videos of the Chevelle. I did the interior work in the Chevelle but I did not do any body work or metal work. All the best my friend

[@jeremyepling3800]

What rack and pinion would you be running in this? Looks great!

[@classicrewind2715]

I'm going to run a unisteer rack and pinion. I've heard there's problems though in a GTO versus a Chevelle. I guess I will have to try it out and figure out what the difference is. All the best

[@classicrewind2715]

Good morning Jeremy. KZbin is not letting me see any more comments on our thread. I hope you're getting my comment on the gasket and sealer.? I can't see any more comments from you. So will try on this thread. I used both sealer and Gasket. I used Indian Head sealer

[@jeremyepling3800]

@@classicrewind2715 thank you! I picked up some Indian Head tonight on my way home,just got third member installed about to watch your vidio again on axells and break install,thanks so much

[@classicrewind2715]

Awesome let me know how it goes

[@kylemays9463]

What’s the length size you install the caliper bracket? The bottom bolt that goes into spindle

[@classicrewind2715]

Hi, Are you referring to the bolts that go into the steering arm?

[@kylemays9463]

No the caliper bracket that installs into the spindle, the bottom bolt

[@classicrewind2715]

I will have to check. I will let you know later on.

[@kylemays9463]

Ok thanks

[@classicrewind2715]

According to the Wilwood Instruction sheet There's two bolts The one bolt is 5/8 ×18 × 1.62 long flat head . That's the upper one that is a hex head .The bottom one Is 1/2× 20 × 3 inch long hex head bolt , that gets secured with a 12 point Nut at the end. I hope this explains it . Let me know all the best

[@brianjackson8248]

No dust plates?

[@classicrewind2715]

Hi, No dust plates... I would not put them on a car that is being built from ground up.. You have a beautiful brake system from Wilwood or Baer. To put a dust shield on something like that would be sacrilege. LoL. All the best

[@brianjackson8248]

@@classicrewind2715 Mine will be a driver so I need to keep the rocks and debris out. I've gotten debris between she and disc and it's a horrible racket. Was just looking at your vid to see if you had ideas for it. Thanks!

[@classicrewind2715]

Brian I would call Wilwood and see if they make some type of shield . I have not heard of anyone installing shield on those upgraded brakes

[@brianjackson8248]

@@classicrewind2715 Good idea. Wil do!

[@classicrewind2715]

Let me know what they say. Im curious. All the best

[@davegerrard6857]

That a sad way to pack bearings!

[@misterbuddyboy]

I looked at the ride tech website and they didn't have spindels do you have a part number

[@classicrewind2715]

I bought mine as a kit. They were 2 inch drop spindles, sorry I don't have a part number.
