  • Watch this before doing a disc brake conversion on a Datsun 521 Pickup. This 1971 Datsun pickup came with drum brakes. This is the installation of the Silvermine Motors Disc Brake conversion kit including Wilwood brakes.

    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!

    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
      @buildgrowplay  Год назад +1

      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.
