Wilwood brakes, assembling the rotors and hats…

One of the first set of boxes to arrive were the Wilwood brakes for the 25th anniversary car… they’re the usual 6 piston front, 4 piston rear but they have special labels to showcase the 25th anniversary edition. All 4 rotors and hats were done in about 2 hours.

A rite of passage with these brakes is marrying the hats with the rotors and using the safety wires… my first time doing this but I think it will pass!

I may redo a few of the safety wires, but it was a learning experience for sure! Here’s one video I found that helps envision the process.
