Rear brakes are traditional twin-shoe type, with manual adjusters of the wedge-and-tappet kind.

Contents

Overview

The same rear brake drum was used 1967-1994. It is an 8" diameter cast iron drum, that fits 1-3/8 wide brake shoes.

Starting from Oct 1989, Sunny Trucks started using a different brake shoe -- while still using the same drum as early 1200s. These late model 1200s use a self-adjusting rear brake system. Aside from the drum, all the parts differ from earlier rear brakes.

Datsun Z-car

Larger 9" alloy drum are used on all S30 models (1971-1978 Fairlady/240Z/260Z/280Z). All 1200 brakes are 8", so the backing plate with brake shoes needs to be switched.

Datsun Roadster

1968-1970 Datsun roadster 1600/2000 used a finned alloy brake drum similar to the 240Z unit. 1965-1967 used cast iron version.

Nissan 43206-25500
* 9" diameter
* lug holes for 7/16" studs (240Z uses metric studs)
* center hole 70mm? (240Z is 68mm)
* no brake adjuster hole (which 240Z requires)
* squared-off fins (240Z fins are tapering)
* height is about .090" different vs 240Z drums

Roadster axles do not have a centering flange, so the size of the lug holes is critical for correct drum centering. The 240Z drums have slightly larger holes and so will not center positively on roadster axles. An adapter can be fabricated for use in fitting 240Z drums on a roadster, which will also correct the drum height. It is close enough that some have used no adapter with varying success.

Roadster drums lack the adjuster hole which 240Z drums have
