[Roadsters] !966 1600 Brake Master Cylinder help

[Pete Peters]

IIRC, you can use a brake master cylinder from a 510, but you have to use metric-to-SAE adapters. Maybe not the cheapest option, but the easiest is to just get a m/c from one of our wonderful roadster vendors (who can also help you with your other parts needs):

Mick, 

I'd check with Les at Classic Datsun or one of the other usual suspects regarding the M/C, but I suspect substituting isn't an easy option. Check the vendor section of 311s.org for a list. AFAIK, Ross is still in business. 

Regarding making your own hard lines, there may be some threads in the 311s.org forums about that, and there are definitely a lot of generic sites on the web. Just remember the Roadsters used SAE fittings, not metric. 

HTH, 
Ron

Great forum 

Can i buy a brake master cylinder from another car, that fits my 1600?. Or, does anyone have one to sell?. The current unit a Girling 70 has seized. Also, any good articles on making your own brake lines, would be good. 

My 1600, is 50 years old. I have owned it for 17 years, but have known it for 25 years. In all that time i have only driven it twice. I am determined to get her on the road this year, so any help, would be grateful. 

Major parts needed 

Low windshield...expensive 
Gasket kits 
fuel sender unit 

Is, Ross Mullen Sport/Imports out of Vancouver still in business? 

Thanks 

Mick
