Herb,
I appreciate the suggestion, but my frugal nature enters in here. The
brakes are nearly new, both the front rotors and the rear drums, and work very
well right now. This was verified both from a visual check with the wheels
off
and some simulated panic stops. I have some other items that are more
pressing, like a new top. If I could get away with simply adding the correct
arms/levers it would probably fit in with my budget a bit better.
Why do roadster owners fit 240z brakes on these cars, anyway? Do they stop
the car better
or are they less expensive? As I understand it, some work needs to be done
to accomplish this.
I will consider going back to stock, but I will need to determine what
hardware is needed.
Thanks,
Dick Schneiders

Dick,
If it were me, I'd certainly consider putting the rear brakes back to stock.
When installed properly, they work just fine. You could consider some
of the many vendors, ie Stan Chernoff ( 310-320-4554 ) or Ross Mullen, at
Sports Imports ( 604-538-5615 ) Mike Young,
at Datsun Sports,( 707-928-4029 ) also is very helpful. You may only need
a little brake hardware, & some correct shoes. Please consider checking
the whole brake system. These cars are old, & you might find that alittle
maintenance is due. You'll be happy that you did, & have many pleasent miles.
