RE: Brakes for a 1600

[Terry Rudd]

I think you're referring to the B spec on the DBA catalogue.   200B (10/77 - 7/79 local and import 80-81) are the same height as 240K (12/75 -78) i.e. 48mm   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FJ510 Sent: Monday, 18 February 2002 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Brakes for a 1600 are 240K and 200B hubs the same depth (from face of hub - wheel side) to strut?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Clough To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 7:34 PM Subject: Re: Brakes for a 1600 Mick   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. ----- Original Message ----- From: mick ralph To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 15:25 PM Subject: Brakes for a 1600 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. www.datsun1600.freeservers.com   Go to Photos 3 page   I'd be interested in your reactions to some of my comments on the setup cheers Mick --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/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --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/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --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/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --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/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
