yep no problems!!!

in a 1200 i would suggest you only really need a booster once you go to four wheel discs

the 1200 coupes and late utes came with discs on front and no booster

i used stanza struts and brakes on my rally car with vanette drums on the back with stock coupe master cylinder and NO brake booster, it had very good brake pedal feel

You can use the stock brake clyinder that is in your ute now (which is the front clyinder), but you need to take the brake bias valve out to accomadate the Dsic brakes.

Thats all i remember doing for my stanza disc setup, i had a datto guru helping out too. Which always helps

No problem at all, just expect a heavy pedal. Most racing cars dont use " vacuum assisted brakes" as you have more feel when braking.

I ran stanza brakes in my coupe for several years with no booster. worked just fine. The only tip I would suggest is to upgrade the brake master cylinder to a larger bore diameter. Most of the larger datsun range of a similar era would be a suitable donor. I used one from a 240K. 7/8 inch bore.

tandem master is a good idea but.......no booster no worries (even with 4 disks) unless you have a very weak leg!!!!
