A Brake Booster was fitted to many disc-brake B210s, including most 1976-1978 models and all USA models. The booster was added to counter the increased weight of these models. This booster is not a direct bolt-in for a (Datsun 1200) as the mounting points are different. The booster is a very small diameter (4-1/2 inches?).

The booster has a:

• 4-bolt front with a thin (about 1 cm thick) aluminum adapter so that a 2-bolt vertical pattern Master Cylinder can bet fitted
• 4-bolt rear mounting to firewall
• Spacer is a rectangular aluminum unit, about 2 inches long. It fits between the booster and the firewall.

B310 vs B210 style

• B310 has horizontal bolt-pattern master cylinder

  

• B210 has vertical bolt-pattern master cylinder

3. OR Use B210 firewall spacer
   1. drill two extra mounting holes in firewall
