Hydraulic parts wear...moisture and lack of use are the enemy. Starting with the 400 series, parts get a little easier to find....My 320 p/u needs all hydraulics thx to it getting too much moisture in a storage setting and age....the trucks...not mine....

So, I am starting with the clutch master....none available....rebuilt kits available on a good day...but many times the cylinder bores are trashed and that and other things make the kits short-lived...why not get a new one from a newer Datsun series.....hence the 240Z...33 bucks including resevoir at Autozone....new!.Bolts right in and requires a little adjusting of the pedal...the Z car will always have parts....Great solution to a great truck. S.D.

Stay tuned for front disc brake conversion thx to engineer..Jason Pope
