Hi Leighton, I thought I heard of all the conversion's for front brakes on Datto's, but this one is new to me.
Mazda RX7 disc are vented, and will not be able to be used with a calliper off a solid disc model, such as a 1600 or other Datsun until late 1980's. As you are trying to find a simple solution, just buy a pair of Datsun 200B struts complete out of the paper (or a whole 200B, lol) for $100 or so... They'll bolt straight up, down to the last clip, hose and bolt. They are a lot better than standard 1600 ones, and will fit with 13" wheels if required. At least you'll get on the road, and you'll have some time to play around with combinations that'll work on the vented RX7 discs if you intend to go that route....

There is some trouble that i must fix - the front end has stock 1600 struts however ther are RX7 discs on it it which are still in good order but the calipers are skyline of some sort. Now the problem arises where the pads meet the disc - - not all of the pad is on the disc there is a slight over hang - hence it cant be road worthied So im thinking i just need to get a hold of some stock calipers or some that will bolt straight up to the strut. There is an adaptor plate that the skyline calipers are bolted too. I wanna get rid of this does any bodyhave any stock calipers i can buy off them - i need them like now or tomorrow - IM IN VICTORIA in melbourne Now the next question is will the stock caliper be fine with the rx7 discs that are on already or do you think i should just get stock discs as wel??? really need some help Thanx Leighton --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
