Hey guys,

just surfing the net and looking for diagrams on how to assemble the rotor's to the struts,when I get to that stage.Would the below diagram represent a basic overview on how it all goes together?

As far as the rotor goes, there is no assembly -- the brake rotor is one piece with no bearings. It bolts to the back of the hub with four bolts

Hub



Rotor bolted to hub

Hey DD,

should of mentioned,complete aftermarket Maddat front end.

Maddat sells four front brake systems for the 1200? Most of them look like they use bolt-to-the-hub rotors

S13/S14 type brakes don't use bolt-on rotors. Instead you install the hub, then slip the rotor over the hub. It's not held in place until the wheel is bolted on

The Wilwood diagram above looks like a rotor that doesn't use a hub. Instead the wheel bearings go directly into the rotor -- like large Ford or GM cars

The bearing pieces differ slightly from most Datsuns, which don't use #13 (spacer) if I recall correctly

Regarding Maddat setup I just assumed that because it said in their description new bearing's that I would have to assemble like the diagram.

I would expect the hub in a "front end" kit to be assembled with bearings. But maybe not

So it could go either way

I'm sure maddat will assemble and pack bearings ready for fool proof install.prob best to let them do it if your asking these questions mate

Omg

MADDAT make many different kits for the front of the 1200.

On my maddat hubs the brake rotors go on last over the studs
and are held in position by two small screws and then the
wheel rim once fitted.
