Wilwood Engineering has introduced new 11- and 12.9-inch Internal Drum E-Brake Rear Kits for 1959-1964 Chevys. The new kits can be used on original classic cars, street rods, classic trucks, street machines and other specialty vehicles that use the classic Chevy differential assembly. They are designed to complement Wilwood’s front brake kits.
The kits are available in two sizes. Kit No. 140-11827 features Dynapro calipers and 11-inch rotors that will work with most original classic car and period aftermarket 15-inch wheels, as well as some 14-inch wheels that are designed to clear disc brakes.
The larger size, kit No. 140-11828 features Dynalite calipers and larger 12.9-inch rotors that will work with some 15-inch wheels and all larger aftermarket wheels.
The brake kits feature Wilwood’s special internal drum parking brake design that allows a parking brake system to easily be hooked into the stock parking brake cable system, said the company. The kits can be ordered with a black finish with standard rotors or can be upgraded with red powdercoated calipers and drilled and slotted rotors.
