Lobo Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 So i have looked at the disk brake conversion. But i am kind going for the original look so i kinda want to keep the drum brakes but my wheel cylinders are toast. My question is there a drum brake setup off of something else that i can bolt to the 411 spindles and is not as hard to find parts for that keeps everything looking org from the outside Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Outside chance that rockauto might have the front wheel cylinders, try them first. Next, post front wheel brake cylinders needed in the new parts wanted section of the classified on this site. Erichwaslike or Tana the Datsun Lady just might have some that are serviceable. Some more progressive rebuilders bore these out and press in stainless steel liners per other early postings in the brakes section, see what search can find in that section. Good luck. Further far out, and I don't know if this is viable, MGTC or MGTD units might be coerced into working. Edited June 1, 2013 by MikeRL411 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Look here for discussion on this subject. References USA source for relining cylinders. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/54666-411-front-brake-cylinders/ The Datsunparts.com reference to using 1500 roadster wheel cylinders may be your best bet. I got my new brake master cylinder from them. Stated "Wrong side" outlet for roadster, but that's just perfect for 410 and 411 sedans. Edited June 1, 2013 by MikeRL411 Quote Link to comment
