Site going down soon for upgrades ×

Recommended Posts

I have a 1972 240z that I am getting road worthy. All my seals on the brake cylinders are leaking, so I decided to upgrade all the way around. I have the maxima rear disk conversion, and plan to buy the toyota from calipers. I see a lot of people mention upgrading the master cylinder for the extra fluid needed. I was thinking the one that came off the 280zx. Thoughts? Recommendations?

I found this one on ebay (I would just local, just needed an image):
