Breakdown
Rear Splitter
Brass brake connector (T-piece) - bolts to the rear diff. The flexible hose bolts to it coming in, with hardlines coming out to the wheels.
3-way Connector Mounting hole: 8.7mm
Front Splitter
3-Way Connector
Used with tandem (dual) master cylinder. Splits the front brake line to each wheel.
46234-H1100 Mounting hole: 6.7mm
4-Way Connector
Used with single master cylinder. Splits the single input.
Input: Master cylinder hard line Output 1. Front Right hard line 2. Front Left hard line 3. Rear hard line
5-Way Connector
North American 1200s were fitted with a 5-way combination splitter with pressure failure warning switch.
Warning Light Switch (brake line pressure differential)
There are two inputs (front and rear from master cylinder). And three output (two for each front brake, and one output back to the rear brakes. The electrical connector goes to the dash light.
It doesn't effect brake bias (it's not a Proportioning Valve).
P Valve
OPTIONAL for PB110 was a Proportioning Valve. It was placed in the line to the rear brakes.
46400-A1100 "P" VALVE ASS'Y (op.) DX 46400-H1005 "P" VALVE ASS'Y (op.) GL,GX 46364-H2600 JOINT-union GL,GX 2
Power Brake Lines
For the stock 1200 power brakes, see Brake Booster.
Hard Lines
The hard lines are 3/16" outside diameter.
* 3/16" lines (4.75 mm) with M10 metric fittings * Cunifer lines on early 1200s for corrosion resistance * Later 1200 utes have poly-coated steel lines
Choices
- get pre-made lines of various lengths and bend and install it yourself
- get brake line material and fittings and cut it, flare it and fit it
- pay a shop to make and install custom lines
- buy genuine brake lines from Nissan and install. The ute parts are still available, and most will fit a Sedan or Coupe.
The first two are available at the usual spare auto parts stores, or mail order from hot rod stores.
Soft Lines
Brake hoses used by Datsun 1200:
* Rear soft hose to the rear axle * Front left soft hose to brake caliper * Front right soft hose to brake caliper
