IIRC, you can use a brake master cylinder from a 510, but you have to use
metric-to-SAE adapters. Maybe not the cheapest option, but the easiest is to
just get a m/c from one of our wonderful roadster vendors (who can also help
you with your other parts needs):

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
