Update: The race master cylinders will definately not fit under the original dash of a B210. All the guys that use them have race cars with the stock dash removed. I had to come up with another plan and I have finally done it.

I needed to move the master at least 2 1/2" to the left. I started measuring and my '91 [B13] Sentra SE-R parts car's clutch pedal was exactly what I needed! The top of it has the 2 1/2" offset I was seeking.



I still needed to re-engineer the pedal box though, and here is a picture of the result.



The original pedal box is on the left. This was more than just changing the pedal however. Notice that the mounting point and the brake light switch had to be altered as well.



I used a piece of 1/2" round stock steel and threaded both sides of it. I secured the new bolt with nylon locking nuts on each end.

Here' a picture that illustrates the offset made .....



Yes, I later cut and welded in a piece of steel to close the original hole on the pedal box.

A picture of the finished product....



In addition to the pedal relocation, the vacuum booster had to be removed. Also, the factory master cylinder was too long and wouldn't fit behind the strut tower. My research revealed that a rebuilt master from an '86 [B11] Sentra would do the trick and shared the same 3/4" bore size as the original.



Shown are the new Ramflo air cleaners that now fit nicely. Engine is a freshly built 1608 with twin 40 mm Dellortos and really runs strong. As soon as I get about 500 miles on it, it's off to the local import drags with some 20" Hoosier slicks on the rear on Panasport wheels.



Here the new front Euro-bumper [sourced from England] is installed. I've finished up the interior and was able to fit a Suzuki Swift GTi seat on the driver's side as well. Is this thing a sleeper or what?

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks 71-521,

It's running really well and I plan to bolt some short 13" Hoosier slicks [on 13 x 6 on Panasport wheels I've got here] and try it out at the import drags here later this summer.

That car looks great, a definite sleeper!! To answer your question blown, I still have the a15 but I sold the 5 speed which I regret. I think I finally found another b210 to put my motor in though but it turns out its an auto hopefully switching it over to a manual will be fairly trouble free. It looks like the pedal box is a bolt in so I don't think mine will be too much trouble if the car turns out to be in good shape overall. Jim
