What's funny, the fact that the Datsun pickup is a xerox copy of the Sprite? Not surprising, the Asian method of car design is to copy something that works. The universal mc will probably work fine with the miata calipers. You have to make sure you do a good job with plumbing if you use a single mc, as you won't have the little bit of redundancy that you get with a dual. And it's possible you'll have to add a proportioning valve with either MC if the weight balance of the truck is different enough from the miata.
If my memory is correct, the Datsun B210 engine is a direct bolt up to the Midget/Sprite bellhousing. A dimmer memory is that that these Datsun engines were licensed from Austin England. An even dimmer memory - Back-in-the-day, the Datsun B210 engine and 5 speed transmission was a popular engine swap into Sprigets. Russ
TTT, you're correct. Quite a few UK vehicles and powertrains were built in Japan under licence. Now the Chinese just plagiarise whatever they want, and get away with it
Brake pedal ratio and master cylinder bore diameter can over come the power vs manual brake question. If you don't know what those terms mean, do a bit of research online. The power booster simply reduces the amount of pedal pressure required to stop the vehicle. A brake pedal that is longer on the pedal side of the master cylinder connecting point reduces the foot effort required to move the master cylinder. You will want to figure out the desired pedal ratio before you make the new mounting point for the master cylinder. When you make that new master mounting point, be sure the firewall doesn't deflect when pressure is applied to the brake pedal. I have experienced that before, until you know its happening and fix that, its hard to figure out why the longer brake pedal didn't change anything.
Austria calling here, forget the US, I'll take your ADR any day lol. We can get stuff approved but it's a serious PITA and expensive.
