    Safety-wire Saturday

    Not much to do but look at everyone else's build threads and wait to pick up my kit, but then my Wilwood brakes came in: 12.88" F & R for IRS, red calipers, and slotted-only rotors.
    So, I did a quick inventory, then assembled and safety-wired up the hats and rotors to kill a dreary afternoon:

    I have to commend Wilwood for what might be the neatest packaged parts kit I have ever received from a vendor. The kit boxes look like they were designed by an efficiency engineer who studied under some wizened Japanese Kaizen master on how to fill a box with no wasted space.

    Anyway, if anyone wants the Wilwood p/n's for the slotted-only rotor sets, PM me.

    Looks great, can you post a pic of the front and rear Calipers as well? I have’nt Ordered my kit yet and wanted to get a look at the Calipers.

    Thanks and good luck with your build.

    Jk,

    Not the best lighting, but here you go. Nothing's mounted, just resting together.

    Rear 4-pot and E-brake calipers:
