Mad Dat sells the custom bracket, which means it fits the 1200 firewall better than the stock 120Y adapter. You can't go wrong with Maddat parts.

I am aware of some of these facts. At no point did I say they are making brake boosters and agreed on the similarities in appearance to the 120Y. I did mention they do make there own stuff (which they do) and because of this, I am happy to pay a lil extra for various parts as their knowledge is great. :)

Custom Made my butt Maddat is probably just sourcing a stock 120Y B210 Booster out of India where many brake parts are made nowadays.

People forget that just because they stop selling something in your country does not mean they stopped making them, such as Bakkies in South Africa early Suzuki Swifts in India and Pakistan, Old Yamahas in Taiwan and Old Suzukis in Thailand and the most amazing one of all,The Original old Ford falcons from ther early 1960's XM and XP models were still being produced and sold in Argentina up till 1996.

When you know those sorts of details parts supplies can become a whole lot easier.

Oh and your teacher was useless it is Brake not Break

It does look like a 120Y booster.

I believe they sell the booster separate.

I also bought a brake proportioning valve as I'll be running discs front and rear.

I don't mind spending a lil extra (with in reason) to good Datto part fabricators. Scott at Maddat is a good bloke and doesn't mind answering my questions. Baz at Datsport is just as good and helped me recently also.

No I'm not a paid spokesman hahaha

The Mitsubishi LA or LB Lancer booster with its master cylinder is a straight bolt-in, though you may need to drill a slightly bigger hole in your brake pedal to fit the new pin through. It uses 2 holes to bolt to the firewall by way of a factory aluminum adaptor bracket.

That looks exactly like the 120Y booster, right down to the aluminum adapter.

Sure, you could use it with a 120Y master which has a special rod-end. I would only need the 120Y firewall adapter and the previously mentioned firewall mods (holes drilled).

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies.
Might be a silly question, but it is possible to just get this (http://www.maddat.com.au/brakes/1200- ... -brake-booster-conversion) and use my existing Master cylinder?

I installed the brake booster and brake master only (no clutch master as it isn't required for my Toyota T50 5 speed).

My project is a Datsun 1000 Van. I had to cut a slightly larger hole were the master would originally fit. 55mm if I remember correctly. I also drilled the 4 mounting bolts out.

Just remember when doing this to use a spirit level on top of the master like I did. As we all know there is a line on the side of the master for level and if like me you notice things like that you'll always be reminded that its not level. If it's not level it's not a real issue, I'm just fussy I guess.

I had to shorten the pushrod length for it to fit a Thousand. This is done with a bit of checking.

Just remember you can always take a lil more off the pushrod, easier than adding a lil more back on.

2 of the 4 bolts to mount booster to firewall were no issue. The other 2 hit the steering column bracket so I notched them out.

I will post pics up tonight.

Yeah the Mad Dat unit is very nice and includes a clutch cylinder too. It is the B210 booster & master cylinder with a custom firewall bracket.

What's involved in installing it? Any holes need to be drilled?

Have you seen the Maddat brake booster?

I've just fitted the booster to my Datsun 1000 wagon
