??? About Wilwood Rear Parking Brake Kit
 

I have the Wilwood 140-7139 rear brake kit for my 9" Ford with Moser Axles. The axles have bolt in studs and the heads are hitting the Wilwood parking brake assembly. I assume the kit was designed for axles with press in studs. What has anyone done to correct this? I would hate to have to grind down the heads of the studs.

This type of interference certainly isn't unheard of, but only tends to be an issue when running screw-in type studs in the rear. From what I've seen, the Moser studs used to (and maybe still do) have the shortest heads compared to the other 1/2-20 screw-in options that I've seen (ARP, Wilwood, Moroso, etc). How much interference do you have? How much head on the wheel studs? If it just needs a small amount, I'd shave the heads of the studs to clear the parking brake components.

I ended up cutting down the heads. Fits fine now.

Sounds like I may have to do the same thing to mine. I a Wilwood disk/parking brake package like you do, (not sure of the part number), Moser Axles and nine inch rear end.
