So gang, as you may know, the threads on one of my wheel cylinders was toasted but the PO “threading” the connector on.
Delving into this is proving to be less straightforward than I had assumed.
The one on my car is 15/16ths bore - translating to 23.8mm.
The ones potentially available to me from Mr. minksport and Rockauto are 7/8ths or 22.2mm in real money.
The ones listed by MSA are 3/4 - or 19mm
Which is supposed to be correct for a late 260z? I cannot seem to find any 15/16ths so I am wondering if it came from another model (e.g. a pick up truck or something else).
Finally does it matter as long as they are the same on both sides? Going from 23.8mm to 19mm is a difference of 25%. Wouldn’t that upset the brake balance? Or does it improve as I have the wrong cylinders on mine? [emoji848][emoji848]
Interestingly, searching for the 7/8ths part numbers online shows they were in use on Nissan cars as late as 1995!!
