[Fot] 300ZX Calipers

[Bill Babcock]

I suggest you look into the AP calipers being reproduced now. I have a set of
the original aluminum calipers on Peyote and they work great. Might be a fuzzy
area but I doubt it--they are basically identical to girlings except they are
aluminum. Not sure where they come from, but I know they are available.

Anybody on the list have any contacts in the Nissan 300ZX community?  I am
looking for 1 or 2 Aluminum calipers for a 1990 (up to 7/1990) 300ZX.  This
are for a 26mm rotor and were used on non-turbo cars.  They are part #'s
41001-30P00 and 41011-30P00 (right and left).  I am looking to see if I can
adapt these to fit my TR3 and then if so, get the SCCA to allow them.  I have
already gotten a verbal approval that SCCA will allow an aluminum caliper
from
a production vehicle.  We (including Sam Halkias) have been trying to get
SCCA
to allow any caliper (Wilwood), but for years they have not budged on that,
insisting that production car calipers only be used up front.

Yes, these are available rebuilt on the internet from a number of suppliers,
but I don't want to spend the big $ on them just to try and see how close
they
are to fitting.  Once I know they can be made to fit then I can buy some.
The
300ZX ones seem to be the closest fit that I have found by researching
dimensions.  Joe(B)
