Q: I have a stock1966 Bronco with a 289. Do I need a proportioning valve for front disk conversion?
⮞ 1 Answer
Answered by ☆ sales - December 15, 2023
A: We would recommend a disc/drum or adjustable proportioning valve. It is not required, but does help with the front to rear brake bias.

Q: I'm running the 3005netw on a 71 Bronco. scraping noise developed on drivers side when applying brakes yesterday. Pulled wheel and found that both caliper pins ( long pin with threads near hex nut that run from one side of caliper to other) were missing. Is it possible to purchase these individually? Thanks!
⮞ 1 Answer
Answered by ☆ sales - March 8, 2021
A: We do not keep them, but they should be easy to find locally. Possibly the HELP section. It is a GM caliper pin, like ~Dorman Brake Caliper Bolt/Guide Pin 13897, or similar.

Q: If I go with the front disk brake kit now and add the power brake booster later, does it involve any extra work by not doing it at the same time?
⮞ 1 Answer

⮞ 1 Answer
Answered by ☆ sales - April 25, 2019
A: If you have original axles, with a tapped hole in the end, you can run the stock locking hubs with the bolts and washers included in this kit. Otherwise, the Wilwood kits re-use the stock drum hubs and spindles, so you could use the stock locking hubs with those as well.

Q: I have a 1975 f100 4x4 with a DANA 44 drum brake, open knuckle high pinion . Will this kit work for my application?
⮞ 1 Answer
Answered by ☆ sales - June 20, 2016

Asked by Dan, January 8, 2016
Q: Why supply new spindles? I'm guessing they have smaller O.D. to fit inside the caliper bracket. If that's the case, can I machine my stock 6 bolt spindles to fit?
⮞ 1 Answer
Answered by ☆ sales - January 8, 2016
A: The new GM spindle is used to put the rotor in the correct position for the calipers to work properly.

Kit fit perfectly on my 73 ford f100 4x4. Instructions were great and very detailed. Only a slight modification had to be made which anyone could do. Everything that I needed was there and nothing was missing. Truck stops a whole lot better now. Would 100% recommend!

I was looking for the stock brake kit since the PO had converted my 1973 to a 76-77 disc system. This kit is for "conversion" to the GM style and not conversion from drums to discs. Otherwise, the kit looked great and had all the necessary parts. I was out the high dollars for the return shipping.
Note From WILD HORSES: We are super bummed when this happens and ask everyone to make sure you understand all the info provided with our part descriptions. If you see something you think would be useful for us to add to the description please let us know [email protected] . We do offer the FORD based front disc brake kit that works for the stock 76-77 5 bolt knuckles #3001.

My front axle was converted to disc brakes more than a decade ago. The time came to replace the brakes and bearings; I figured it was also a good time to replace the hoses, dust shields, spindles, hubs, etc. Rather than piece it all together separately, this kit seemed like the best way forward. I am happy with my decision to buy the entire kit; it may not have been necessary but it sure made the job easy to finish. Thanks for offering a complete kit like this. I am giving only 4 stars because one of the dust shields arrived severely bent; something that probably could have been noticed prior to shipping. However, Wild Horses made it right and shipped a replacement out to me quickly, with a return label for the bent one.

This is one of the best disc brake conversion kits for the Bronco front brakes yet! I have done several conversions and this one is the top choice. Comes complete with everything needed and is easy to install, provided you have some fair mechanical skills. I was able to use the factory aluminum wheels that cam on the Bronco, other s sell kits where this is not the case. Well done Wild Horses 4X4.

I replaced my old drum brakes with the front disc brake conversion kit with the new wheel bearings. The kit came with everything in two boxes, one for one side and one for the other. Everything was there along with instructions and the shipping cost was not cheap, but it was much more reasonable than another Bronco house who wanted an insane amount to ship it to me in Arizona. The install went great and I am happy with it. I do not have a brake booster on it yet but was told by others that by putting one on will really make a big difference as well. I hope Wild Horses sells this as I have not checked yet.

Really enjoy the stopping power of having front disk brakes. Kit was easy to install, however It would be nice to have more pictures with instructions. Kit is complete but you may want to consider replacing outer axle seals and U joints while you are in there. Better to buy ahead of time so your not running around looking for parts.

This kit is amazing. I had never even taken a locking hub off before this. After some initial hick-ups because of inexperience, this thing went on like clockwork. To the rookies like me, just take your time and after one wheel the other side will go on in an hour or less. Doesn't even feel like im driving a bronco anymore!
