[Roadsters] brakes

[ppeters914 at comcast.net]

Not just the later dual-reservoir models. My '66 firewall has serious flex around the brake m/c. 

 Back to the original post, I did a lot of brake conversion research years ago. I don't remember finding anyone using 240Z brakes, but did find Z folks using Toyota 4Runner brakes. 

One guy on this list used those w/ Maxima rotors. Works well, but heavy & requires mods to mount.

Search the 311 forums for "Altima vented rotors" for the current setup. 

Hope this helps.

  The early flat dash, single brake circuit cars did not have a flexing
problem.  When the 68 roadsters came out with a dual circuit master
cylinder, Datsun cut into the firewall to recess that master and keep it
out of the carbs way.  THAT caused the flex/crack problems.
