Zinpieces Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Using donor Infinity parts for my SBC Z was a good idea. Making the E-Brake cable connectors from Pot Metal not so good! Just about the time I was trying to connect the inboard end of the Q-45 cables to the stock 240Z setup one of the cheapo ends broke. Now to figure a way to use my perfectly good Datsun rear brake cables with the Q45 brakes. Turned out to be not so bad. The stock Z cables operate a lever with a pin and yoke connection, but the swedged end on the cable is the same as the Q-45. So off with the yoke and then fabricate a receiver for the smooth bore cable end that mimicked the Q-45. I used the Q-45 return springs that I wound onto the Z cables and fabricated the receiver from some tubing and a piece of flat stock. A couple of hours work but it really simplifies the other end. now that i have a pattern the other side should be easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
