1/71 240Z Rear Wheel Cylinders

[rayaapp2]

So here it goes.

 

Im in a conundrum which I feel is solely the result of auto parts suppliers not knowing what the hell fits what on my 'Nissan' 240Z.

 

I do not own a 1972 240Z to compare with or I could have avoided posting... lol

 

So here is the deal. My car is a 1/71 production date. The car is a series one by most peoples definition and all the parts I have replaced this far are definitely 70 parts where applicable. What I do not know is if the wheel cylinders are all the same for these early cars without ordering a set of them and waiting 3 days for them to come in from anywhere. It seems RockAuto, Napa, AutoZone, and Kragen all carry the 1972 wheel cylinders, but they do not carry them for a 1971 or back, slmody like there might have been a parts change between these years. I have a feeling these parts suppliers are just ignorant of what fits what.

 

My stress on the situation is that my current daily driver is wrecked and Im fighting the insurance company, my wife's Daily driver has 2 blown flats and we are waiting on tires to come in(06 330i RFT) which will be here mid next week(so she is driving my 99 F250 4x4 long bed extra cab diesel), and Im driving the 71 240Z that empties the back brake reservoir in a day or so. FML with this bad car joojoo.

 

So what Im asking is that if any of you know for a fact that the 70 wheel cylinder is the same as the 72 please let me know. OR if someone knows for fact that the 72 wheel cylinder can be installed on the 70 backing plate without any major mods please advise me.

The classiczcars guys might know more since they love the early 240Zs. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/content.php

 

Also, if you have the pieces, a complete strut and hub transplant, to the later parts might be an option. Nuts, bolts and a brake line.
