280z master brake cylinder!!

[Angermgt101]

I just recwived my 280z master cylinder and am thinking.... can i use the pice that connects to the pedel from my roadster or do i need the pice from the z ( witch I did not get) the 240 has a cone insert and the roadster has a half circle. If any has done this can you please let me know what pices I need to put this new master cylinder in my ride. Thanks

I don't know if a 280Z master will work. I do know that the 240z clutch master will work if you swap the actuator for the pedal (the 240z one is too long) I don't know about using the brake master. It might work, it might not.
Good luck,
Will

The early 280Z will work. I seen it doen on a very popular KA24DET conversion webpage. It is recommended especially with the 4 piston Volvo calipers becuase they pump more fluid to the font brakes for more braking power... Thestock calipers have 2 pistons.

You will need to use the Roadster's plunger.

It will however be too long and have clearance issues with the stock air assemby.

I don't know if the dual Solex carbs will have clearance issue though.

The arm connects into the 280z perfect. BUT as in the last reply, how worried should I be with more pressure to the stock calipers. I would figgure I would get better stopping with ths stock as long as they can handle the added pressure. till I can get the volvo calipers.

That I don't know.

You will need to get that answer from a 280 Master stock caliper person.

The Z master has a larger piston which means it flows more oil at less pressure than the stock master. So you will need to press the brake pedal harder for the same braking...
