yoogener Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Okay, so i've had a '71 sitting at the shop for quite a while now. Living in Glendale, CA i have no way of getting a brand new '71 master cylinder. They always send me 280 models. What i noticed was that the 240z master cylinders have a different setup than other models. So i hear that people get 280zx master cylinder upgrades for their 4runner or wilwood brake conversions. If i do get another 280 series master cylinder, are there any hardlines to change? 'Cause i don't have any spare hardlines. :*(*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNeckZ Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I have a 71 "Z" and have used the early 280ZX Master Cylinder 15/16". You can use them up to a certain year. After that they change the way they mounted to the car and it will not fit the 240Z. I did have to bend the lines, so that they would mate properly with the 280ZX master cylinder. The brake line are switched on the two cylinders (front to rear)and (rear to front). So I switched them. If you feel that you don't want the bigger fluid bottle going to the fronts. You can just hook them up and go with it. I did it for safety reasons. You can make your own judgement call. Good Luck, Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
