Wilwood’s Billet Dynalite Single utilizes close tolerance design and manufacturing techniques which results in the most rigid, lightweight and attractive caliper in the evolution of the Dynalite Single Series. Starting at 1.58 pounds, the Billet Dynalite Single is perfect for compact high performance braking as required in Open Wheel, Drag, Modified, Kart, Motorcycle and Off Road applications.
The two piston caliper is rigid, lightweight and holds a .49” thick, 1.1 cubic inch brake pad. Internal fluid passage and multiple bleed fittings permit right or left, front or rear mounting options with either 3.25” or 3.75” lug spacing, and will fit .25” to .38” thick rotors with diameters from 6.00” to 13.00”. High temperature square piston seals control piston retraction while the stainless steel deep cup pistons reduce heat transfer from the pad to the brake fluid. Calipers accept 1/8-27 NPT inlet fitting and come standard with our exclusive re-usable pad retainer clip.
The Billet Dynalite Single comes standard with our black anodized coating, but is more spectacular in the brilliant polished version (shown at right) for a show car look. The machining versatility of our CNC equipment sculpts a part that enhances wheel and suspension detail while maintaining the close tolerance design attributes of the Dynalite Single Series.
Additional Notes
Wilwood’s unique Thermlock® T1 Short Track Pistons is an optional feature on our Billet Dynalite calipers. The pistons incorporate a stainless steel shield and coated aluminum shell configuration to provide a highly efficient thermal barrier between the brake pads and the caliper body, seals, and fluid. Lower operating temperatures eliminate seal crystallization and localized fluid boiling while providing longer caliper service life through decreased distortion in the caliper body and piston bores.
About Wilwood Engineering
Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures high-performance disc brake systems. Since the company’s inception in 1977 by Bill Wood, we have developed a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques that allow us to quickly and reliably create brake systems for almost any application. Our core ability is the rapid development of custom engineered brake systems using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components. In addition to designing and manufacturing brakes for all types of competitive motor sports, Wilwood also manufactures brake systems and components for agricultural equipment, industrial applications, utility vehicles, snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles and military vehicles.
With headquarters in Camarillo, California, Wilwood employs approximately 250 people. We have on-shelf stock of more than 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs, 100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves and brake lines. Our off-shelf brake calipers range in size from tiny calipers used on go-carts and light duty industrial equipment, to heavy duty original equipment brakes for the U.S. military Humvee.
Wilwood's engineering department uses the latest computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques in conjunction with finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment, to find high-performance and reliability solutions for the most difficult braking tasks. Our extensive inventory of proprietary on-the-shelf components allow us to provide cost-effective solutions for unique brake applications.
Wilwood is ISO 9000 compliant and has extensive experience maintaining quality levels of 100ppm or less for original equipment manufacturers.
