To those interested
My question to the Net was "What do I need to convert my Tiger to a dual
master cylinder set up, and rear disk brakes."
The E mail replies went like this.
Datsun/Nissan brake master cylinders for a 240/260/280 Z will work.
Another alternative was to use two 5/8" bore Imp masters with a balance
bar to adjust brake bias. The B-bar is Available from Tilton Eng. in
Goleta, Cal ( add & phone were not available)
Disks Brake set ups are available thru Dale's All British.
(909) 799-2090 I assume Dale can supply the masters also. ??
I was told that the rear disk brakes from a Jag will bolt up. BUT,
your lug pattern becomes 5X4.75 ( GM ) I don't know what model or year
Jag. This requires more investgation.
This is what I've learned so far, and armed with this info, I will not,
and I don't advise any of you, to jump in and do this change, yet.
I intend to look quite a bit deeper into it before I make any changes to
my car. Proper brake bias is very important, and a mistake can be
deadly. To much front pressure and you'll go straight, no steering
durring a panic stop, to much rear brake and you'll be all over the
road,if not spinning tight curcles under the same hard braking.
If I come across any more info I'll pass it along. Once I see it work
properly for me, and to my satisfaction, I'll be happy to share with you
all.
Be carefull.
