MikeRL411 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) "DatsunParts.com: Brakes-1500", part number 1560 is a genuine Nissan brake master cylinder part number 46010-10800. It is coded in the 410 / 411 parts manual as for the left hand drive 411 except for the 1.6 liter, but the only difference I can see is the smaller brake fluid tank. I will take pix and post them when I get set to install this unit on my 1.6 liter RL411 [despite what the parts manual says]. and will drive it to the JCCS show on 15 September. OOHS and AHS welcome if it works as well as I anticipate. Edited September 6, 2012 by MikeRL411 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Let me know if it works with the 1.6 or any mods, planning on working on the car here in a few months and hoping to get it running. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Change out starts Monday 10 Sept. Meet me at the JCCS on 15 Sept to see if all worked as well as I thought it should. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Swap done! Looks great even with the smaller brake fluid cup. Feels just right on the pedal. I will drive the hell out of it the next 3 days to ensure that the fluid level stays constant. I took pix but am trying to get my computer to accept the shots since I forgot to initialize the new memory chip I put in my camera. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) As promised, photo of original RL411 brake master cylinder [red white and blue box] and Nissan replacement [plane brown box] brake master cylinder Both with Nissan part numbers, both "made in Japan" and both 7/8 inch Nabco.

MikeRL411 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Made it to and from my home [only 16 miles each way - disclaimer] to the JCCS at the Queen Mary today with no problems. My personal take, a very acceptable OEM substitute for the NLA original NABCO 7/8 brake master cylinder for the RL411. Remember "wrong side brake line outlet" for a roadster is the correct outlet side for a RL411. Quote Link to comment
