Hey,

Just after a little help with fitting some disk brakes to the front of my 1200. I have bought the suspension, springs, stearing arms, rotors, calipers, bads etc... in a package from the wreakers. Stupidley I forgot to ask what car they came off but I'm pritty sure they'll fit as the guy saw my car and it was a nissan wreakers. I am planning to fit them in the next couple of days and I was wondering if there is anything specail I had to do to convert the car fron drums to disks, besides bolt them in place. I know that I have to take a valvue that maintains pressure to the existing drums out of the master cylinder, thanks to one of your existing threads. However i'm not sure if the datsuns have dual master cylinders, as I am leaving the rear drums on the car so i will need to leave the rear valvue in place, assuming that it is fitted with a dual master cylinder. Also if it is only a single master cylinder how do i go about fitting a valvue further down the line to maintain the rear drum pressure.

any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated as I am rather new to cars and modification.

BTW how do I tell the difference bettweem a single and dual master cylinder and is it safe to assume that the R stand for rear and the F stand for front on the cylinder.

Thanks again Ben

Ben, welcome to the wonderfull world of Datsuns. If you get yourself a workshop manual for your car, you will find that most of your questions will be answered.

Somebody once sent me this link to the ebat Datsun 1200 page. There are usually books here all the time. Just keep the link & keep an eye on it.

Thanks mate will do
