Look for a search but didn't find one...
Called the Wilwood Corp and inquired on a non power front disc brake kit and MC. Pretty straight forward. Only thing out of the ordinary was using the MC for the Mustang because of the "eye" style rod going to the pedal. With a 5-1 pedal ratio and no power a 7/8" MC was recommended along with a 10# residual valve for the back drum brakes. This kit for the MC includes an adjustable proportion valve and a spot for the brake light pressure switch.

I'm looking to do direct bolt on to a 56 spindle without digging around in a bone yard and also using Chinese knock off parts. They said use any supplier and Summit is the best at $983 and change. Some may not like it but this is OK with me. Ebay is full of cheap kits and I've read abut them all and am not interested.

Has anyone here on our forum installed this exact kit 140-12922 and MC 261-13272. or a complete Wilwood kit on another vehicle? And what did you/they think. I like the 4 piston calipers and what's said n their instructions.. Thanks
