*Bzzt* wrong

I have a July '74 120Y and it has boosted brakes

only 120Y's that do NOT have boosted brakes are the ones with Drum Brakes
and they came with a 3 speed colum shift manual and "Lung Puncher" (non collapsable steering column)

all of that is mentioned in the Gregorys service manual)

and all 120Y's have 4 bolt boosters as I spent enough time trying to get a manual pedalbox in place of an auto one on The Defect and The Defect III,so I got to notice that (the Iron maiden - black 120Y - is a factory 4 speed)


I have a stock 74 120y manual with front discs and collapsible steering... but nary a brake booster to be seen.

my 74 120y has disk up front with the collapsible steering column with no boster fitted!

some of the differences might be between the early japan import and aussie assembled cars

wasn't there a short period that the 120y's where assembled here with the jap brakes before later changing to the pbr setup

Ive never seen a 120y without a disc brake front or seen one with a column shift. One of the wreckers here has about 15lined up all different years and assemblies. The early ones dont have brake booster and the later ones do.

My July '74 120Y has boosted brakes...

The Defect (March '77)

The Iron Maiden (July '75)

The Defect III (July '74) - effectively a March '77 exept for brakelines, brake booster and master cylinder
and...
The Stock car - an australian late model 120Y - judging by it's PBR brakes

all of them have had or have boosted brakes

it could be that the base model aussie ones didn't have boosted brakes - and all the ones I have ended up with are the more upmarket ones...

The Defect had Jap struts combined with a BW68!

the compliance plate says it's a march '77 but the struts could have been swapped out some time in it's past...
