These calipers do not have the e-brake in them. The e-brake is a separate caliper. Go to the Wilwood site to get info, then call them for specifics. Mine will end up being Wilwood Dynalite 4 pistons front and rear, 1.75" pistons front, and I think 1.5" pistons rear. There will then be another pair of calipers on the rear that will be mechanical for the e-brake.

ahh ok that makes much more sense i had emailed wilwood a few weeks ago and didnt get any sort of reply who knows. i also have seen a systems like a drum brake that sits inside the rotor as an ebrake i am just thinking that might be rather difficult to get inside a stock vw rotor

thanks for your help

just came across this picture seems basically this is what you are talking about the caliper and then the second mechanical floater caliper for the ebrake

that makes a whole lot more sense now

thanks again for the assistance

That's it! I have to make the "bracket" from scratch for my application, but that's the mechanical caliper.

any updates????

**volkdent** · #68 June 6th 2006, 11:41

A rotor and caliper are finding their way to Canada as we speak. I was able to get them shipped out on Friday. I'm in the process of building a new garage and moving, so progress will be slow for the next couple of months.

what throttle set up is used in the picture? is that something purchased or your was it custom fab? or is it just a modified stock pedal set?

volkdent what throttle pedal do u intend to use?

also anyone ever messed around with the floor mount wilwood pedals i looked at a few in a pro truck over the weekend and it seems possible.

**volkdent** · #71 June 21st 2006, 11:48

The floor mount is possible, but I think it will require a false floor and moving the seat back quite a bit.

I'm having a custom pedal built that bolts in to the stock pedal assembly holes as well as the stock MC holes for support. I'm not getting to far with the guy I've been working with, so I may just draw it on AutoCAD and have someone mill it out for me.

The pedal in the pic is an aftermarket roller pedal.

hmm ok i was thinking that cause wilwood shows the floor mount pedal at being like 6 inches i looked at some in a pro truck and it didnt look that big but i guess it was

i know what type of pedal it is but what is that assembly that bolts it to the tunnel?

I could be mistaken, but it looks like the stock pedal base.
