Installing a 280z - NOT ZX - Brake MC on my 71 510- Stock the 510 pushrod is held in with a clip to the MC - doesnt seem like the washer will fit under the clip on the new master (280z) Can anyone confirm that the 510 pushrod will work and wether or not to clip it in - Thanks Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 maybe this will help. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/34119-help-with-280z-master-cylinder-upgrade/ you can also type in 280z master cylinder on search window (upper right hand corner) and click on magnifying glass symbol --good luck Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I searched forever and couldnt find an answer on whether or not to use the clip... long story short- you can't- but the 280z MC bolts right up, Ended up having to replace those short hardlines out of the master as well. First master I got from autozone leaked like a sive while i was bench bleading -went to another autozone and miraculously found another- this one was actually much nicer... same part though... much much stiffer pedal feel -although not a bad thing - but my car is set up as a race car and not a daily.

qwik510 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 From what I remember, many years ago, the guys running the 280Z master cyl had to make a smaller custom sized washer to make it work. Maybe check in the back issues of the dime quarterly. They are available online for free, here: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0ByCvxnHNk90SYzc4N2E1MWEtMzg0MC00YTE4LTkxZGQtM2RjODA5ODA1YjU1/edit?pli=1 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ill do some digging to find out- seems fine with out it- with the stock push rod threaded as short as possible it leaves only a hair of play so its held in there pretty well - but would prefer to have a fail safe Quote Link to comment
