Datsun 1200s came with two brake systems: all drums (Standard models), or Girling-Tokico front disc with rear drums. They were excellent brakes for the period. All are manually adjusting except non-North America Left-hand drive 1200s, which were equipped with auto-adjusting rear drum brakes.

Types
- Drum front/drum rear - Standard trim, Deluxe trim
- Disc front/drum rear - GL, GX and optional on Deluxe
The 1200 front-disc/rear-drum system was good for 1971. In fact, stopping power was better than most 'muscle cars' of the era. However, if you have a drum/drum system, you'll want to upgrade to disc/drum. The drum system stops well enough, but the disc system has less fading going down mountain roads.
Calipers
Calipers are used with disc brakes. Datsun B110, B210 and B310 used floating two-piston ANETTE types. These were desinged by Lucas Girling who make the Anette, Babette and Colette series.
Type
- B110: ANNET 12/14A (1.894" cylinder inner diameter)
- B310 small: AN-18 (1.894" cylinder inner diameter)
- B310 large: Disc-AN20 (2.012" cylinder inner diameter)
1200 Brake Rotor
- Outer diameter: 212 mm
- Height: 35.6 mm
- Nominal thickness: 9.5 mm
- Minumum thickness: 8.6 mm
- Hub Reg: 70 mm
- Bolt size: 10 x 1.5 mm
- Bolt circle: 4 x 87 mm

- and all 12" wheel B210 and B310
- 88.9 mm: B310 large struts for 13" wheels

Apparently the calipers are unique for each rotor, also the strut/spindle assembly *may* be different.
Front Drum Brakes
1200 DX and STD trim received front drum brakes (GL and GX were fitted with Disc Brakes). It uses two cylinders, unlike the rear drums which have one cylinder.
