gravityflyer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi all, Getting ready to re-install my brake system, but when I originally disassembled everything I had a couple loose pieces fall out and would greatly appreciate your help with identifying them! I'm not sure if these are in the correct order, but you'll note the nipple, spring, and plastic piece. After referencing the service manual I suppose the spring could correspond with #13, but I'm not confident. I also don't see the nipple / plastic piece reflected in the manual. Thank you in advance for any guidance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 What is make and model of the MC? What is your brake set up (Disk-drum or disk-disk) as it makes a difference if the check valve (spring and rubber stopper) is used. Drum brakes require the check valve, but disk brakes do not. The cone shaped part is the flange seat for the brake pipe. There should be a threaded coller as well. Look at a FSM for your car. It should show the MC parts assembly and torque specs for the coller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravityflyer Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks Miles, greatly appreciated! The MC is stock from a '77 280z. Thus, disk-front / drum-rear. I'll go back and review the FSM for other specs, but I believe the above image was all I could find out of the manual. I'll be sure to verify later today. I'm starting to suspect that the spring and plastic piece connect as indeed shown in my pic, with either the plastic piece or spring then fitting behind the cone to create a tighter seal for the brake pipe flange. I dunno... - Jeff Edited February 18, 2013 by gravityflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
