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
