D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit, Anodized, Corvette C2 / C3 65-82 w/ Lines
The Wilwood D8-4 Front Replacement Caliper Kit (part #140-10790) is engineered as a direct bolt-on upgrade for 1965–1982 Chevrolet Corvette front disc brakes. Made from strong, lightweight aluminium and supplied with braided stainless steel flex lines, this kit delivers responsive and consistent braking. The included BP-10 compound pads offer a balanced friction level for daily driving and spirited use. This calliper set uses a simple NPT-threaded inlet for secure connection of steel-braided lines, reducing brake line flex under pressure. The mounting process is straightforward and uses the factory calliper mount locations, supporting reliable performance and easy servicing.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
- Direct replacement for 1965–1982 Chevrolet Corvette front disc brake calipers
- Two D8-4 anodised aluminium callipers
- BP-10 compound brake pads included
- Braided stainless steel flex lines provided
- 1/8-27 NPT calliper inlet fittings
- Retains factory mounting position
- Caliper bolts torque to 55 ft-lb
- Compatible with DOT 3/4 brake fluid (avoid DOT 5 for performance use)
INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS
The vehicle should be safely raised and supported before the original callipers are removed. The Wilwood callipers mount in the exact original location with supplied hardware. Bolts require red Loctite® 271 and should be torqued to 55 ft-lb. Brake pads are installed using a retaining pin. The kit’s included braided stainless steel lines connect to the callipers via 1/8-27 NPT adapter fittings; all line routing should avoid moving components. After installation, bleed the brake system until the pedal is firm, and follow Wilwood’s bedding instructions for optimal pad and rotor performance.
FACTORY FIT NOTES
Fits only the front disc brakes on 1965–1982 Chevrolet Corvettes; verify the application before installation. Supplied braided lines must replace factory hoses, as OEM rubber hoses will not fit directly. Confirm all hardware, clearances, and brake line routing match your car’s exact variation. Check wheel clearance before starting the installation.
