B210 Brake Booster

From Datsun 1200 Wiki

A Brake Booster was fitted to many disc-brake B210s, including most 1976-1978 models and all USA models. The booster was added to counter the increased weight of these models. It is a very small 4.5 inch diameter model. This booster is not a direct bolt-in for a (Datsun 1200) as the mounting points are different.

The booster has a:

  • 4-bolt front with a thin (about 1 cm thick) aluminum adapter so that a 2-bolt vertical pattern Master Cylinder can be fitted
  • 4-bolt rear mounting to firewall
  • Spacer is a rectangular aluminum unit, about 2 inches long. It fits between the booster and the firewall.

Use in B110

The B210 and B310 booster mounts to the firewall with 4 bolts, whereas Datsun 1200 (B110) has only two bolts drilled in the firewall. The shape of the firewall also differs.

  1. drill larger center hole in firewall
  2. Make 4-bolt to 2-bolt spacer/adaptor to go between the firewall and the booster
