Andrew, You have a few options to change your rear slave cylinders depending on what you have in there work(ed) like in the first place. It's tempting to just use 240K slaves (who knows what size they are?) but there is no guarantee that they will work in the same way (balance etc) on a 1600 as on a 240K as the front/rear weight distribution is different, and to a lesser extent the overall weight is also different.
What I'd do is identify what size you have now - stock 1600 are 13/16", 1200 sedan with drums all round have the same, but if you are prone to rear lockup you can use 1200 Coupe slaves which are only 11/16" and these are the ones that you've read of ppl using when larger front brakes are fitted to a 1600. They work very well with 200B/240K front disc conversions especially if a prop valve is not being used. To increase the static rear brake bias with 1600 drums you could also get 7/8" slaves, these were stock items for a 4 drum 1600 (which were very rare in Aus) but 30 years ago you could get them from Nissan as they listed the part even in the Aussie model parts book. You can still get rebuild kits for slave cylinders and it can work but with brakes it writes off another set of shoes when they let go a couple of months down the track, and new slave cylinders aren't all that expensive in the scheme of things. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andrew Greenbury Sent: Tuesday, 18 February 2003 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rear slave cylinders Hi List, My rear brake slave cylinders are leaking :( I could get standard 1600 replacements, but didnt someone ages ago suggest another donor that is better?? I have 240K struts with the twin spots and the larger discs on the front, 7/8 master cylinder, 180b (I think) brake booster, and standard 1600 drums.
