Tederoo Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 How did it happen i ask myself? It started in Jerome AZ, when i went into a ravine to retieve a 1964 Datsun 1200 pickup, it had been there for 15 yrs. A buddy from Phx, told me he could get it started, and indeed, within 1 hr, it ran, a little blowby, but after an oil change and a few tweeks, it purred, then there was an add that told of a 64 BlueBird, having never even seen one, I bid, the price was short money, and have rebuilt the engine and am assembling as of today, then the 240Z i got for 14 dollars (ababndoned, purrs like a kitten, also the most recent, a 67 411 wagon, one owner, italian design, 1600 /dual SU's, 47k original...I know, I have to go to Datsun anonymous, I am addicted...Ted Quote Link to comment

Might be what you are looking for. Can't hurt to search on your exact model. At the price het charge, if it doesn't fit it's no big deal/ Quote Link to comment
Tederoo Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 My front brakes are 5/8s, and the hole it goes thru in the backplate is exactly the diameter of a quarter (25 cents)...having a helluva time trying to find a kit or a new cyl, and trying the auson people...see what happens..the wheel is a small one, so nothing else fits...ted .....and Dats no lie Quote Link to comment
