Some good work on this brake setup, no wonder
they dont fade!
On the topic of better brakes, what is the best
way to use a pair of 280ZX front struts with brakes on a 1600?
Replace the top half of the strut with a spring
holder that will fit smaller dia. springs and a strut top suited to the
1600 strut tower? eg 1600 or 240K. (Another option I am
considering using is a 240Z spring platform and top as these are smaller
dia and will allow a good deal of camber adjustment in the strut
tower)
Or do you just use the vented discs and hubs
on another strut. If so which strut/caliper combo? e.g. do the 280ZX
discs fit on 240K/skyline stub axle which may then allow the
use of Volvo 4 spot calipers on this strut?. (The Volvo calipers wont
bolt on to the 280 strut with the disc mounted in its conventional
location)
I picked up the 280ZX struts for $75 the
pair yesterday at Pick a Part - I had to take them at the price, just to
play with combinations like the above. Any experience with the 280ZX struts and brakes will be
welcome.

Hi
For some time people have been asking me about
my 4spot brakes and i been promising to post some pics. Well i finally
worked out how to scan a pic that doesn't end up being a 1.5MB file ie too
big for the webpage, and now there are some pics to look at.
Go to Photos 3 page
I'd be interested in your reactions to some of
my comments on the setup
cheers
Mick
