Hi Jeremy,
I am going to keep it as simple as possible and stick with the setup on the
311s.org site.
I am going to use the volvo calipers and the manifold setup with a new 280z
brake master cylinder. I purchased my manifold from Bo Larsen and my stainless
steel lines from Dean at Fairlady.
The parts appear to be easy to get and the maintenance will be simple.
Hope your project goes well,
Paul ..

Paul,
Thanks for fowarding that to me. I went with the Stainless Lines and fittings,
I think it cost me a total of around 50 bucks. I think its a much cleaner
look, and I'm not crazy about pepboys aftermarket parts, nor 35 year old NOS
rubber on my brake lines, but thats just my opinion.
I was talking with a fellow about running slotted and or vented rotors. I'm
questioning the width the calipar has to travel in order to squeeze the factory
solid rotor, does this look like any issue to you? I haven't read anything
about it, just wondered. The vented rotors will be a huge improvement on top
of the volvo calipars, but not sure if the factory solid ones fit snug, if I'll
have enough room for probably twice the thickness of a vented rotor.
Any thoughts on that?

Hi Jeremy,
I am going to stick with the specs from the 311s.org site. Steve has no
problems so I am going to try it.
I am also going the volvo manifold way to connect the brake lines. It is a
much cleaner and safer approach.
Take care..

Paul,
I drive the snot out of my cars and have yet to have a problem. If you are that
concerned take another 1/16th off. As I said before it certainly will not hurt
anything--and just because it works for me your mileage may vary. Do what
you think is right for you. Yes, there should be a crush washer on the main
line as well. 99 percent of all brake fittings require a crush washer. SS lines
are okay but there is nothing wrong with the stock rubber ones. Glad to help.
Be safe and enjoy the ride.
Steve Allen
