The other big and very serious problem is that the Z part is metric and the
Roadster lines are SAE. The SAE fittings are just a little smaller. This means
the threads are just catching by the tips and can pop out at any time. Most
likely when you really need your brakes the most.

In lieu of paying $200+ for a new brake master cyl, I was talked into
purchasing one for an early 240Z. The configuration is very similar, and it
bolts right in with no problems. However, I can't get the front brakes to
lock up now, and it takes extra effort just to slow down. There's plenty of
pressure when I bleed the front lines, so could something else cause this, or
is it likely the new MC? It wasn't stopping before, but the old MC was shot.
Has anyone else tried this, or know of any other MC that would be compatible?
Early 510? 411?
Thanks,
