Hi Everyone
I have a very early 1973 Datsun 120y and need to replace the break pads and calipers.
I have 2 other Datsun 120y both from 1977, 1 of which i have stripped down to use as spares. When i went to fit the new pads and calipers from the 77 to the 73 they look different?
the pads definetly dont fit, the 73 pads are smaller than the 77 pads and the brake hose on the 77 calipers is in a different position than the 73.
Ive checked my haynes manual and theres nothing stated in there that they are different. Also looking at my early 73 120y it looks like i have to remove the struts just to get the caliper off as the 2 bolts holding it on are blocked in by the strut.
Can anyone give me any advice on this at all? im at a loss
Thanks in advance
