The other big and very serious problem is that the Z part is metric and the  
Roadster lines are SAE. The SAE fittings are just a little smaller. This means 
 the threads are just catching by the tips and can pop out at any time. Most  
likely when you really need your brakes the most.

In lieu  of paying $200+ for a new brake master cyl, I was talked into
purchasing  one for an early 240Z.  The configuration is very similar, and  it
bolts right in with no problems.  However, I can't get the front  brakes to
lock up now, and it takes extra effort just to slow down.   There's plenty of
pressure when I bleed the front lines, so could something  else cause this, or
is it likely the new MC?  It wasn't stopping  before, but the old MC was shot.
Has anyone else tried this, or know of any  other MC that would be compatible?
Early 510?   411?

Thanks,

Jim Grant
