Wilwood Pro Spindle dimensions?
 
Hey all, this is probably a long shot but im wondering if someone with the wilwood pro spindles can help me out on a couple dimensions.

I have talked with wilwood and they arent willing to share the information even though it would result in me purchasing a set.


Basically I am interested in running the spindles but with a 6 lug unit bearing. If I have these two dimensions I can cross reference a 6 lug unit bearing that will work with the spindles.

Thanks in advance!

I can't help you with your specific question, but my general grumpiness when it comes to supposedly "engineering-focused" companies not sending a quick email to an engineer to glance at the drawings is palpable.

Anyways, if you are planning to buy from a dealer, you may have better luck getting your dimensions by calling them and asking them to go through their inside sales rep. Reps usually have connections for tough questions.

I wouldn't take measurements you get over the internet and buy something that isn't returnable. Which leads to my second suggestion, you can buy and return from summit or Jegs for a minimal penalty in return shipping. They also price match. It is best to support the companies that support us, but most small businesses aren't interested in returns for expensive and specialist parts.

I cant help either as mine are already installed. I took a chance, got them from summit for like 550 on sale.
Supposedly only fit Wilwood brakes... nahh, got them installed on my truck with 2019 silverado calipers and 13" rotors from a jeep (hub bore opened up a touch).

I'd imagine there similar if not the NNBS hubs drilled to Wilwoods spec... but yeah, calling a dealer and asking if they can get the info for you is going to be the way to go if your not willing to take a gamble

Nope, never did. Ive had a few guys at companies tell me they we would get me dimensions but never heard anything back. I definitely dont want to be a pest since they would be giving me some of their valuable time for free.

If i ever hear anything I will report back.

I sent you a PM. I have a set in the box that I’m waiting to install. Hopefully I can help you out.
