Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the correct bolt size and thread pitch required for your specific Wilwood brake rotor and mounting hat combination. Refer to your brake kit documentation or Wilwood's specifications.
- Ensure the mounting surfaces of the rotor and hat are clean and free of debris.
- Insert the bolts through the rotor and into the hat.
- Place a washer onto each bolt before fully seating.
- Tighten the bolts incrementally and in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
- Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specified value using a torque wrench. Refer to the Wilwood technical documentation for precise torque specifications.
Compatibility:
These bolt packs are *application-specific*. Always verify the MPN (e.g., 230-8390 for 5/16" - 18 x 1") and thread size against your brake rotor and hat specifications. Wilwood offers various sizes, such as:
- 5/16" - 18 Thread x 1" Long (Pack of 8)
- 5/16" - 18 Thread x 1" Long (Pack of 12)
- 1/4" - 20 Thread x 3/4" Long (Pack of 12)
Care:
These are high-strength fasteners. Inspect them periodically for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If any damage is observed, replace the bolts immediately. No special cleaning is typically required beyond ensuring the threads are clean during installation.
