Just a heads up on the FFR Wilwood 13" brake upgrade package. The hex head bolts supplied from Wilwood to attach the calibur bracket to the FFR spindles do not allow enough room to get a socket or barely an open end wrench on the top bolt. There is no way to torque the bolts to Wilwood's spec as installed. I have the FFR SN95 spindles and the spindle does not have enough clearance. I had to substitute an allen head bolts for clearance. Since Wilwood designed the package for FFR I thought I would bring it to your attention since I did not know who to contact at Wilwood.

Thanks,
Tom Peters

Tom thanks for letting us know we will look into what the proper bolts should be.

Posting so I get subscribed to this so I get the updates.

I've got the same brake set up so will come across the same problem.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
