Wilwood kit install for 9” drum spindles
I have a 72 Demon that is getting Wilwood kit 140-11022 D. I have begun the install and wanted to put up some info that I have found and post pics to help those looking at this kit.
First the backside of the spindle that needs ground to clear the new caliper bracket needs to be cut in about the depth of half a quarter and the radius is close. I bought a mini 1/4hp pneumatic die grinder and it removed the material just fine.
Second they state you need to drill out the rear lower spindle bolt hole, they also intend for you to go clear through the balljoint too. The instructions aren’t crystal clear on this but it does go through the ball joint.
The Wilwood lug studs aren’t in my opinion long enough to fulfill length requirements laid out in drag racing rule books, I am ordering new 3 or 3.5” Long lug studs to screw in.
