mklotz70 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Okay....I'm back home and able to box/ship the remaining kits. I've got one 620 kit boxed and ready to go. I've also got two 521 kits. I must have counted some stuff wrong since I've got brackets for a 4th kit, but not all the parts. I'll probably hang onto them until I get more adapters made. Anyway.....

mklotz70 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Another kit just sold....another pending....so I have one 521 kit left. It can be turned into a 620 kit if needed. My plans are to turn around and do another batch of 10 kits, but I would like to sell the last one first :) Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Congrats on the sales Mike. Great product. Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks Charlie :) The pending kit sold, so I have one more. Even if I start on the next batch in the next couple of weeks, they won't be ready until after the first of the year. Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Mike, with the quality of your kits and all the extras included these will sale as long as people are building Datsuns! Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks! I guess we'll see :) I'm guess most of the next batch will end up selling through ebay. Link to comment
burrito213 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 hey, not to anyone in particular: i have the famed "mikeklotz" supremo disc brake conversion set and i was wondering if someone could help me zero in on what parts i should by for my 320 that wont have to be cut or altered or if they need to be then which one part will need to be altered. any help building this parts list?.... hub caliper any ____? i just dont want to get the wrong stuff as i plan to get most of my stuff possibly from Rock auto.

mklotz70 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 '83-85 720. Early has the 620 style rotor/caliper, but the hub will work. Later has a rotor with the top hat that's too tall and the hub would have to get machined to fit small center hole wheels....but the caliper should work. The '84ish parts are the best....especially if you find donor parts that can be used "as is". Always best to by new rotor and caliper. Doh....just read the last line of your post...... order '84 720 2wd parts :) Yea!! Time to sleep!! Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Burrito, I wheels that AZhitman brought to you fit on the 1980 720 hubs. The rotors, calipers, brake pads, & brakes hoses are are 1985 720. The wheels without the rivets are fine. This is what I have on my 66 520 and that I tried your wheels on. Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 So I've had 4 guys tell me they wanted the kit....one even said they were going to paypal me when they got home....I assumed from work, but maybe he's out of the country.....anyway.....as of yet, no one has sent any money so I still have a kit available, in the box, ready to ship. :) Link to comment
rokunimaru Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, I'm a new member. I recently acquired a 73 620 shortbed, then I quickly learned myself on the freeways that I would need a more reliable braking system. The truck came with 14 inch rims which I would like to keep. I did a little bit of search and found that your disc brake conversion kit would clear the 14". Is the disc conversion kit still available? Thanks. So I've had 4 guys tell me they wanted the kit....one even said they were going to paypal me when they got home....I assumed from work, but maybe he's out of the country.....anyway.....as of yet, no one has sent any money so I still have a kit available, in the box, ready to ship. :) Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I want one of these kits for my 521. Do I need the pushrod too? I have paypal ready, let me know the details if they're still available. Thanks and Happy New Year. Link to comment

burrito213 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 i was looking at the 1985 720 calipers on rock auto and i was wondering if there was one i should pick.... a lot of different styles like: loaded, semi loaded..... and with the hydraulic hose, do i get the 2wd front left and right?..... it has a boxier look on one end any help sorry to bug. Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 2wd hoses. I believe the "loaded" simply means it comes with pads......which is usually a better deal, unless you have other pads you want to run. If you had a set of ceramics you wanted to run instead, you would not want "loaded" calipers. I think before I have another set of kits done, I should do another install thread :) :) Link to comment
burrito213 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 no mike. its me. my mom says i'm special. :P Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 :) I'm a dim bulb, but since most of the people at work are burned out bulbs, I can seem pretty bright sometimes. :) Link to comment
burrito213 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 just fyi for people interested in mklotz70's disc brake conversion and wanted to know differences in terms when buying the calipers: Unloaded, Loaded, Semi-loaded Calipers. What's the difference?! Unloaded - Caliper Loaded - Caliper, caliper mounting bracket, hardware (shims, sometimes bolts, rubber thingies, metal retainer thing), pads Semi-Loaded - Caliper, caliper mounting bracket, hardware, no pads.

mklotz70 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Burrito. :) Just FYI at this point.....I've placed the orders for the cnc'd adapters and laser cut brackets.....so I'm doing another batch of 10. I've already got one prepaid order. I sold the last 10 without having to do ebay,.....this time I will probably put them up there to see what happens. I'd love to get another couple of prepaids :) hhmm....I really need to do another for sale thread and instruction thread!! :) Oh well....it won't be tonight!!!! Link to comment
izzo Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hmm, how much r these? Im broke as shit and poor, just curious of current price. Link to comment
