Mohit The bottom end should bolt in all round. The 1600 strut top may fit on the 260Z shaft, but you would have to change the lower spring rest welded to the 260 strut to suit the larger diameter 1600 springs.

Hi there, thanks for the info.ok will the 240k top mount fit on the 260Z strut tower.i can get any parts for 240k here so i can get the top mounts in aussie. what about the bottom end.will the 1600 ball bolt rite on onto the 260Z strut and the steering rod,where the tie rod fits,are they the same. cheers Mohit. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of rclough Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 11:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: curious to know what these calipers are from? Mohit The 260Z brakes are the same as Datsun 240K brakes. However the strut from the 260Z is smaller in length. The top mount is a different design and wont bolt straight into the 1600 strut tower. You could build and adaptor plate to fit the 260Z struts to the top mounting location. The Z springs are small in diameter and do make it possible to widen the wheel rim width inwards, as well as locating the top mounts futher inward and to the rear, giving more negative camber and caster. The 240K struts bolt straight into the 1600 strut towers, are approximately the right length, and hence hight in the car, (and have the same brakes as the 260Z). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mohit K.

I'm informed on the OzDat forum they're R31 Skyline...makes sense since it's bolt spacing matches older 240k struts. Am I correct in describing the Sumitomo as double piston i.e. single opposed one each side and is this providing better braking that the R31 with a single piston? my current calipers: http://www.netspeed.com.au/mark/4sale/brakes.jpg On 02/10/2004, at 6:43 PM, Jeff Oldham wrote: > commodore maybe ? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark > Sent: Saturday, 2 October 2004 1:42 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: curious to know what these calipers are from? > > > Hi all, had these calipers sitting in my shed for a while and I want to > fit them to 240k struts with 253mm disc - is it a bolt up job, do I > have to be concerned about pad area and disc size? > I don't know what these brakes are, they have know name on them just > numbers cast into them, bolt spacing is 3.5" which matches my 240k > struts (at least that's what I recall 240k struts as being).
