Don't know? Is it 2 bolt or 4 bolt.
The mid 70's Lancer one (The size of 180B but 2 bolt) is a straight fit..never thought
to use anything else.

While were on the subject i was thinking of using a Lancer booster aswell. Im soon to be fitting up the 10" discs and 4 spot calipers and dont think the stocko master cylinder is up
to the job by itself. Would adding the booster help with the hard pedal im expecting when i fit the struts and brakes??? Or am i better off using a 200b master cylinder with a booster
or somthing similar to a 200b? Any thoughts or ideas would be great...

Scott,
best bet would be go to some recyclers and look at all of the options there and choose the one that seems to fit your needs best. I used a master and booster from a Toyota Celica on
a 1200. I had to drill holes in the firewall to mount it and it worked real well. Others would have worked as well or some maybe easier to fit.

Scott,

I did this conversion - calipers from a Toyota Hilux - a few years ago. You'll need a bias valve and a 15/16" master cylinder from a 280ZX or 300ZX - anything smaller won't get
enough juice to the fronts and will only lock up the rears. I used the shorter (10.5") 1600/180B struts and welded in the 1200 seats. It's a bit of a tight fit, but works.

Good luck. Let me know if you have any other q's.

Later
Paul

I thought it would be too small. I've got plently of time to set everything up properly. So i'll be off to the wreckers this weekend. Will the 280ZX/300zx master cylinder bolt
up to the lancer booster?? cheers

Yep, You may need to modify (lengthen/shorten) the rod that comes out of the booster. Use a depth guage (bit of stick) and make sure that the booster rod sits nicely
inside the master cylinder. The booster is exactly the same internals as the 180B booster. Any larger booster, and you've really got to start cutting into the strut tower.
