1972 Datsun 620 disc conversion

[Giljr2]

I was wanting to replace my front drums to disk breaks and soon also ad rear disck but do I have to buy these expensive $600+ kits? Or is it all just about buy a braket for the truck? I really want to see what I can do.

The $600 lot you see on eBay is everything you will need short a master cylinder.

 

Other brackets are out there, but you will still need to buy everything else

The search function is the best way to source this information. This is an extremely popular brake improvement for the 620 and is well documented here.

 

 

Type ' 620 disc brakes on early 620' or '620 disc brake conversion' or 'BEEBANI's disc brake conversion' or try mixing up the words for alternate replies. Next try searching through the Brakes forum or build projects. All it takes is one post to point you in the right direction.

Hell, the pinned topic, aptly titled, READ THIS FIRST in the general discussion sub-forum covers disc brake swaps to trucks.

Beebani and Mike Klotz make brackets for the conversion.

 

I used Mike Klotz's kit on my 520 and was impressed with the Research and Development that Mike put into the kits.

Would Mike Klotz's kit fit on my 620?

Yes. 

 

www.bluehandsinc.com is Mike's website. Really trick stuff. Lots of effort went into every part he supplies.

Mike is a super nice person and is very capable of answering your questions.  Be patient though he is a very busy man.
