Mick,
You may be able to use an aftermarket racing master cylinder from someone like
Wilwood or Tilton Engineering as a replacement. These can be bought in multiple
sizes.
These have a 3/8" thread x 3/16" line with an inverted flare for the brake line
connection and a 2.25" bolt spacing (typical of most vertical Datsun 2 bolt
patterns masters), so it should bolt to the firewall with little effort. You
may need to come up with a new clevis arrangement to attach it to the pedal.
Just a possible option.

Mick,
I'd check with Les at Classic Datsun or one of the other usual suspects
regarding the M/C, but I suspect substituting isn't an easy option. Check the
vendor section of 311s.org for a list. AFAIK, Ross is still in business.
Regarding making your own hard lines, there may be some threads in the 311s.org
forums about that, and there are definitely a lot of generic sites on the web.
Just remember the Roadsters used SAE fittings, not metric.
HTH,
Ron

Great forum
Can i buy a brake master cylinder from another car, that fits my 1600?. Or,
does anyone have one to sell?. The current unit a Girling 70 has seized. Also,
any good articles on making your own brake lines, would be good.
My 1600, is 50 years old. I have owned it for 17 years, but have known it for
25 years. In all that time i have only driven it twice. I am determined to get
her on the road this year, so any help, would be grateful.
Major parts needed
Low windshield...expensive
Gasket kits
fuel sender unit
Is, Ross Mullen Sport/Imports out of Vancouver still in business?
Thanks
Mick
