PAD6812-40 DPS/DLS .50 T HK3 HOLE AXLE

The PAD6812-40 DPS/DLS .50 T HK3 HOLE AXLE from WILWOOD is a precision-engineered brake system component designed for high-performance vehicles undergoing serious suspension and brake modifications. This axle-mounted brake pad assembly serves drivers and mechanics building competition-grade brake packages where OEM components fall short of stopping power demands. Whether you're upgrading a track car, street rod, or off-road rig, this Wilwood product delivers the engineering reliability that separates weekend warriors from serious enthusiasts.

Built to Wilwood's exacting standards, the PAD6812-40 features a .50-inch thickness designed for optimal heat dissipation and consistent friction characteristics across repeated hard braking cycles. The three-hole axle configuration (HK3) ensures precise alignment and secure mounting on compatible brake calipers, eliminating pad knock-off and reducing brake fade during extended use. The DPS/DLS designation indicates this pad set is engineered for both dual-piston and dual-lug brake caliper applications, making it versatile across multiple Wilwood brake packages. Compact at 2.95 x 2.8 x 4.9 inches and weighing just 1.2 pounds, this component integrates seamlessly into tight wheel packages common in modified vehicles.

Mechanics and fabricators upgrading to Wilwood brake systems—particularly those installing big-brake kits on vintage muscle cars, modern performance platforms, or custom builds—will find the PAD6812-40 essential for completing a balanced, coordinated brake upgrade. Installation requires attention to proper caliper fitment and pad retention hardware; confirm HK3 hole spacing matches your specific caliper model before ordering. This component pairs perfectly with Wilwood rotors and master cylinders in comprehensive brake system overhauls where stopping performance directly impacts safety and driving confidence on road or track.
