RHD Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 1970 510 I apologize for not being able to name the part other than to say its the block that splits the brake lines that come off the master cylender. I am in need of the proper compression fittings which bind the line to this block any ideas of what specifically they are called and where I could find a repalcment set would be a huge help? Thank you for the help. Ross Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Distribution block. Original part is NLA. Hit the hot rod shop. I used to have the number. I do know that it is not available through Nissan at all. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nissan calls the splitter block the "3-way connector". USA Datsuns don't use one on the front brakes instead have the Safety Pressure Differential indicator. But in general the brake piping are 3/16" lines (4.75 mm) with M10 metric fittings. Originally they were Cunifer lines for corrosion resistance, but poly-coated steel lines are available today. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I saw these brake lines mentioned on another forum. http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-NiCopp-Nickel-Copper-Brake-Lines/2111534/10002/-1 Since I have a 521, and it used the American sized flare nuts, I just bookmarked this pags. Maybe you can look around the Jrgs site, and find the M10-1.0 flare nuts you need for a 510. Quote Link to comment

Cahoon520 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Please do not use compression fittings on your brake system. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes, that will work. Use the double-flare. Quote Link to comment
