spitz17 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi - As the title says, I am looking for a set of front / rear FIA or Hurst Airheart calipers that were available from Datsun Competition in 70's. Offer will depend on condition, but please send anything you have my way. Thanks spitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 For a customer in Copenhagen I've taken the Toyota S12W calipers and machined the outer caliper to look remarkably close to the FIA calipers. They were accepted by the local European FIA vintage racing association for competition use. That might be an alternative for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks John - I believe I located a set of Hurst Airheart brake calipers that are correct for the car. I will reach out to you if that falls through. Thanks for reaching out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't do that work anymore, you'll have to find your own machinist if you have to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Looks like the sale fell through. Still looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 S12W with 16" RS Watanabe does not match well. I have to grind outer side of caliper even though I put 8mm spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi Tamo - this will be for my racecar, not my Z with Watanabes. Thanks for the note though, hope your car progress is going well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Still looking - FIA MK63 four piston vented fronts, Hurst-Airheart, or Lockheed all work! Just need fronts, but will purchase full sets. Edited December 5, 2014 by spitz17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks spitz17, you mean MK63 instead of MK36? http://www.project-831.co.uk/node/101 http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c467971888 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k178018622 Edited December 5, 2014 by tamo3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) You are correct tamo. There were two versions, vented and non-vented. Looking for vented. It looks like one of the Yahoo listings is repro, and both are non-vented? Thanks for the links! Edited December 5, 2014 by spitz17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi Spitz17, Reading description on the Yahoo auction, Gold one is repro, dirty one is used, original one. Both of them items are vented one. It described as "BENTCHI" Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab 155 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have a set of NOS FIA calipers that I bought as a spare set for my factory Scarab. I've attached photos -- if these are what you're looking for, let me know and we can work out a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
