Dan,
 
I want to use the sumitomo caliper without having to change/ fabricate
caliper mounting bracket if possible.
I don't know if the disk offset would be acceptable on this strut with the
twin pot caliper. There is a 280zx at my local wrecker. I will have to check
it out if no one knows. 
 
Depending on the hub I might be able to bolt the disk/hub to another strut
to give me the correct disk offset from caliper. I have found minor
differences in the past when swapping brakes from 240K struts to 200b stuts.
Also someone in the past told me the angle of the stub axel to strut on the
280zx gives slight +ve camber on a 510. This would be a bit of a
disadvantage to me.
 
I measured some hotwires a while back and they had 300mm of space in the
wheel for brakes.
 
Thanks
Trev

Trevor,

I used to run the 280ZX struts and calipers with 13" wheels.I was sure it
would require 14 " wheels but it was a very close fit and the stopping power
was excellent , it would depend on the wheel at that diameter though, as far
as I can remember there was no increase in offset with that strut combo.
Hope that (might) help ...
