James....The 1500 uses a different master cylinder than the rest of the
1600s.
The 1500 master cylinder is NLA from Nissan & really very, very hard to
find. But you can use one from a 411 (not sure if it is the pl or rl) that
will work, but you will still need to re-route the plumbing to the other
side of the master.
Also, make sure you have the correct orginal length plunger...I believe the
411 plunger is longer than needed.
Fairlady Products & Rallye both usually keep them in stock.
