evildky Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I have seen a lot of people mention using the larger clutch master cylinder from an old datsun pick up, anyone know what year this part comes off of, thinking a replacement from parts store would likely be pretty cheap but I need the application ?

Trevor Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Have you Read Terry's article on the IZCC site? http://www.zhome.com/ " After weeks of looking in salvage yards for a larger diameter clutch master cylinder, I finally found one on a very early Datsun pickup truck (mid sixties model I've been told **) that was in diameter, and had a little over a 1" stroke""As of 8/95 I finally found another Datsun pickup with the same master clutch cylinder, and found this truck to be a 1967 vintage.

blueovalz Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I was never able to find a parts house (even those dedicated to foreign parts) that carry or can find the old Datsun truck 3/4" clutch master cylinders any more. I finally (mine started leaking) bought an aftermarket one that had the same bolt pattern as the Datsun (this seems to be a very popular bolt pattern) by Girling. A few minor modifications to the pushrod so that it would mount properly to the clutch pedal arm, and reshaping the metal brake line, were all that were needed.
