Barra260Z Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 G'day guys Just joined the forum after finally getting my dream Datsun which is a 1977 260z 2+2 auto Going to be doing a rb25det engine conversion (later on 30/25det) and I am chasing a manual clutch pedal and probably the brake pedal aswell, I had a look at the pedal box and there is spot for the pedal so perhaps I may not need the brake pedal and a clutch pedal would go strait in? Are there any other brake pedals that will bolt in I could look at finding ? Any help in that regard would be greatly appreciated Thanks guys Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted January 13, 2017 Moderators Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Mate Been there and done it - You will need both the brake and clutch pedal from a manual car, while you are at it replace the pivot bushes as well. You will also need to trim the front edge of the hole in trans tunnel, once you get the console out there is an obvious point to trim to. Also, you will need bridge the wires for park/neutral switch otherwise the starter circuit won't energise. Easy jobs Cheers Quote
Barra260Z Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Hey mate Thanks very much for the info on that it's appreciated If anyone has the clutch pedal and the brake pedal for sale I will Buy them Thanks Quote
NoLongerHere Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 If your stuck, you can use the pedals out of other Datsun. they can be swapped across. Also you can cut the brake pedal down if you can only source a clutch pedal. Quote

NoLongerHere Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 240K is the first one that springs to mind. Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 240K is the first one that springs to mind. Having a converted a 240K from Auto to Manual, compared to Z's they are nothing alike. Quote
Barra260Z Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks for all the help guys Being new to the Datsun scene I wasn't sure etc I put an add on gumtree and got a whole manual pedal box complete Thanks for all the help Quote

That's funny because there is one sitting in my 260. Modified the original auto brake pedal from my 260 to fit it next to it, i.e cut it down and kinked it. Quote
