proceed
as

care
must

be

it
will
be

necessary

is
fitted
to

the

Standard

DeLuxe
models
See

Fig

for
details
The

DeLuxe
models
are
however
additio

ally
equipped
with
a

Master

servo

unit
which

provides
a

much
higher
braking

performance
with
minimum
force

required
on
the
brake

pedal

A
tandem

cylinder
and
Master

are

fitted
as
standard

to
the
Datsun
