This is my old coupe, it has the usual bored out A15 twin forties, 5 speed, front disks etc.
Bought it as a one owner and in some ways regret ever modifying it.
You cant recreate originality. |

 Re: my kb10 Dattomans kit is simplicity itself. The only truly custom made parts are the hubs & Caliper plates, & these are parts that do not normally wear out. The brake hoses are semi custom as they are replicas of the Mazda /Fraud Laser part, but without the mid line mounting for the donor cars strut.
Everything else is prety much a stock part, either Datsun [M/cyl & rear wheel cyls] or brand X [caliper overhaul kits, pads, & rotors]
Drop him a line & he will tell you what you can source locally to save freight costs.
Originality?
Original is cute,... not fast, but cute, & it can be fun as well.
It looks like the wonderfull Datsun 1000 is geting a little more attention of late, & this can only be a good thing. Being the senior sibling of the 1200, it's time they got a little more attention & respect.
B10's may not actually "rule" but their leadership qualities are the equal of any. They take sass from no one.

Re: my kb10 Looks really nice in the picture... do you still have or another now?
Also... what brake setup did you use? I definitely want to upgrade before I put any other engine in.

Re: my kb10 Hi 2332,
It does look good in this picture. It was 100% standard back then. I bought this kb10 off Andy (Sidedraught), and I sold it back to him a few years ago... He still owns it today, However he has since fitted a 1600+cc A15 race engine, a 5 speed, and some other goodies.
When I had it, I fitted some Chrysler Sigma brake calipers and a mix of 120y/1200 rotors and hubs. This brake combo works OK, but it has some problems. I would recommend using the disc brake combo and pre-made brackets that someone was selling on this website. (I forget who sells them). I still have a soft spot for 1000's, but as far as disk brakes are concerned my current 1200 was so much easier to sort out.
James.

Re: my kb10 The only plus about "originality), is that you get to bastardise it your way.
