OdtheBarber Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hello guys I'm new to this but can someone send me a link or tell me about some sites for me to but a kit for my 73 Datsun plz Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Conversion? to front disc?? Type front disc brakes 620 into the search function and begin reading. There are several ways to do this with some bolt on adapters and Nissan parts. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 The more expensive the kit the less parts you have to put on What's the budget? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Whoa, whoa, whoa. The wilwood kit, although nice, is really overkill for a stockish 620. Who's packing that much giddy-up to need that much whoa down? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 The stock '73 has 4 10" drum brakes that will stop it very well. BUT for this, you have to check and adjust them every three months or so to keep them optimum. Disc brakes are set and forget, simpler, easier to change pads. You would have to drive them pretty hard with a heavy load to enjoy their superior fad resistance to heat than drums. Look for BEEBANI's brake conversion kit. Mklotz might have something also using 720 spindles calipers and rotors. Quote Link to comment

Who's packing that much giddy-up to need that much whoa down? was using it as an example. It's a 73 620 with front disk brakes and is relative to the topic. And honestly not the idiot with the wilwoods that's for sure Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Beebani, krecs, and MKlotz all make brake conversion brackets for the trucks. Look them up, see what suits your needs and budget. A company called SilverMine sells the complete kit with brackets made by Krecs. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yeah, wish silver mine or California datsun said what rotors were used. I may eventually have to replace mine... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 PM krecs. He'll be able to tell you. That's his kit. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just throwing it out there. Front clip off a 720 has all the parts and suspension you need for a complete redesign and modernization of the brakes and suspension geometry. I know...it's not easy, but the results are a vast improvement over stock 320,521, 620. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 PM krecs. He'll be able to tell you. That's his kit. nope, his shitbox is full Quote Link to comment
