Hey guys, got a 72 javelin that the prior owner put on a Wildwood set up on. Ive never done anything with aftermarket brakes at all. So, where do I get brake pads at once these where out? What do I need to know to order new ones from a parts house or web page?

I know it's probably the most basic question. But if you don't mess with the stuff you don't know. Lol. Help out a noobie at aftermarket parts.Embarrassed

Look at the Wilwood catalog online, see what they offer for the Javelin, see if they match your brakes, if not keep looking, when you have a match it will tell you what pads. If you are not sure call them for a particular pad compound. Save the part number and you can order them from almost anywhere, Summit, Jegs, Speedway, etc

You gotta start somewhere sometime! I'm not  a willwood user; what these folk say. But you can also call Willwood and ask how to identify if there's mystery. Simply tell them what you asked here. Ignorance is not a character flaw. Everyone doesn't know something.

Yeah, I'm going to have to check with Wildwood and see what I can find out. My car has a Chevy 12 rear end with the 5X5 pattern and the front end has a matching pattern. So not your normal AMC set up. It's usually a fuul sized Chevy set up.  Plus I'm going to have to find a new brake line to adapt from the stock hard line to the front side located caliper. But not the worst thing. Just got to know what I have to start with.
