Disc Brake Conversion - Datsun 521

[@mrbookends]

Leaving a comment so I know why I saved this video: I've got a 620 that I'm going through right now and I need to double check that the bearings and seal you linked work for the next model year application! Cheers!

[@buildgrowplay]

They are different, apparently

[@mrbookends]

@@buildgrowplay yep! Discovered that a little while ago!

[@buildgrowplay]

@@mrbookends Pretty annoying. I had ordered all the bearings I thought I needed from an online parts store only to find half of them didn't fit.

[@fireh8r]

@@mrbookends What year 620 do you have ? And do you have the bearing # ? I have a 73 and am thinking of doing this. Thanks in advance.

[@buildgrowplay]

Mine is a 72 521... different completely

[@tWs-ELEMENOHPEEE]

Thanks for this, I’m thinking about doing this and seen this kit. Great to know about the cons.

[@buildgrowplay]

Not big negatives. Just think for the money it should be perfect

[@Dhred2823]

Love it keep the videos coming. Just did mine not too long ago.

[@buildgrowplay]

Hoping to start on the bodywork this week

[@gabrielrobles4087]

Can these be used on the front? I got mine all torn to shite ngl. So the fact that there is some support and communtiy for this truck is amazing.

[@buildgrowplay]

@@gabrielrobles4087 they have front and back sets

[@korosuchimu1479]

Great video, thank you for this information 👍

[@buildgrowplay]

Thanks mate

[@pidgeiam4979]

Bummer you had to mess with the kit. From a bunch I’ve read I’m gonna assume those aren’t the stock 14” wheels? Keeper up I like 521 content. 👍👍👍

[@buildgrowplay]

Yeah. Still easier than making an adapter. The wheels are 15s and still too tight. Plan on wheel shopping when I have the cab back on. Hope to have more content soon.

[@skilled1140]

@@buildgrowplay If you want to keep that style you can use chevy rally rims and some hubcaps - otherwise you're got vintage Japanese offroad wheels / 90s minitruck wheels / some new 6 lug watts

[@buildgrowplay]

@@skilled1140 not sold on what to go with yet. Think original bamboo color with an orange fleck for the paint.

[@marc-andreboivin5617]

Nice ! Looking into the Silver Mine kit as well for my 520 . Did you put longer studs on the hub or just replaced them ?

[@buildgrowplay]

Longer studs on original hubs.

[@henryneymendozapico8526]

Alguien me puede ayudar en decir de que marca de carro es el disco que se está utilizando ahí

[@buildgrowplay]

It's a kit from silverminemotors.com

[@phillipwessels8576]

Will this fit on B20 Sunny

[@buildgrowplay]

No. These are 6 stud not 4.

[@dilpikindustries]

How is the 302/32 inner wheel bearing working out for you?

[@buildgrowplay]

Perfect

[@TheforealDanDan]

Are you upgrading the master cylinder??

[@buildgrowplay]

Just replacing new for old. Plus new proportion valve.

[@sergiomartinez8837]
