If you use Comm pads, there is a big selection of compounds race pads etc, I'm using the toyota pads as a good fella had a couple of sets of oldskool compound that work well, 
As for Master cyl, there is 3 sizes depending on the travel/feel you want, Neil will have sizes, mabee part numbers...

I also emailed maddat and this is the setup they sell, I even asked about the bias issue and there is none.

Keep at it Pedro, good work, 
 
 
I may be wrong but i think the maddat kit uses Comm front callipers, (well that was their first kit, )
 
if you search on 1200.com there is a heap of info on Thou disc conversions, 
I think it was matto1kute or datto1000wagon that had details of the bias issues, 
 
techwikki 
 
and again, this isn't a Pi$$ing competition, it's a suggestion, it works and the numbers add up, if you want to try something different, go for it, if it works.. I'm all for it.. 
 
cheers, Dundee.

New Master cylinder arrived (JB1196 11/16) but didn't come with the pushrod. Have you guys that have ordered previously got a push rod with yours?
 
Pics for historical reference
 

Hmm, I bought it based off the info in the datsun1200.com wiki which is usually reliable;
 
DUAL
JB1196 Tokico Dual Bore: 11/16 inch (17.46 mm) $85 AUD (with pushrod)
* Repair Kit K7638X Tokico


I have the old single piston master so I'm assuming that clip pictured in the back of the master holds a push rod in? Hopefully can remove from old one and adapt to the new one...

So I attempted to put the non boosted push rod in the new master (was rushing as time was limited). Removed the circlip for the new master and pulled out the washer. Put in the non boosted push rod and after much stuffing around got the circlip back in.
 



 
Throught the day was thinking about and started thinking what I had done was wrong. A quick message to Neil confirmed my suspicion.
 
So now I need to make myself a new push rod, or I reckon I can machine the end of the existing one off and use it if the length is correct, my preference is to use a complete replacement but retain the clevis.
 
Also got around to marking and drilling my caliper brackets, I used the old drum retaining plate as a guide. First bracket I did was average, so the holes are slightly larger, but doesn't matter at the end of the day as the centre locates it just fine.
 




 
I then flipped it over and used the first one as a rough guide for the second one
 

 
 
Apologies for the spamming of this thread, but I think the pictures help illustrate for future people trying this conversion.

Hey Guys,
 
Just for completion. Looks like I'll be making these work on a 411 with a small spacer on the caliper mounting ear
 


 
Just need to run some new brake lines and make a push rod.

Sorry dundee sometimes I just wonder about the rumours that get perpetuated  I remember the brake discussion from the 1200 site and it's funny how long these these conversations carry!


Hope you get going pedro, no pictures are working though?

I'm almost there guys. Photobucket changed their terms and want to charge something ridiculous to host photos that you can link to a forum so fuck their couch.
 
With the brakes, I am nearing the finally stages of the conversion. I was about to get custom flexible brake lines made for the front as the vs commodore rear caliper standard ones are obvously quiet short, but I was at my brothers place and noticed a vl commodore front caliper and line sitting on his shelf.
 
I talked him into giving me the calipers, tonight I unbolted the VS caliper brake line and banjo bolt, then did the same on the VL caliper, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the block style mounts were interchangeable, and that the vl commodore brake line is the perfect length.
 
One thing that is also very worthy of mention is, the banjo bolt hole in the rear VS caliper is around a 1/3 of the size of the hole in the VL front caliper. This may be the pivotal point in the arguments around using the rear calipers on the front of the car, I'll post a picture when I get time.
