wayno Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 So, are you in Cape Town, South Africa? Is your truck right or left hand drive? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I also did it but mine was easy as I am running auto trans. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 My 520 had a power brake booster in it from a 73/74 Datsun 620, and it barely fit with a stock carb, I had to use a Ford Courier brake master because the 620 brake master reservoirs would not clear the carb, when I changed over to dual SUs I had to make a change as the back carb was in the brake master, so I installed a 521 brake pedal assembly in the 520 and now it barely clears with thin pancake filters, when I figured this all out I put a power brake booster in my work truck, should have done it years ago. My 520 truck is LHD, I have no clue what a RHD 520 has for clearance, in my head I see lots of room. He also asked about disc brakes, but that depends on if he is going with ball joints or is keeping the kingpins. 2 Quote Link to comment
